pace knows his trucks. their technical names, their jobs, and how to use them. he is quite the connoisseur. bishka sent a grader to pace for his birthday. she warned me, and i could have hidden the box had our ups driver come at his normal time and delivered the box in the normal hiding place in the back, but the one day he came at 11am, and then the 10 minutes we were outside collecting green tomatoes to make tomatillo sauce, the ups guy drove up and handed the box to pace to carry inside. pace knows that all good things come in boxes, so when i told him it was a special present for his birthday and we were going to wait until his birthday to open it, he was very upset. very. so i decided to help him open it early. (we have since printed out an october calendar to cross off days until his birthday, and he knows that all presents wait to be openeduntil the day with a star on it)
"look, muh, it's a grader!" pace exclaimed very happily.
thanks, bishka, for making a little boy big happy!
