911-The Weekend

On Saturday, Ethan was here.  After playing baseball, he busied himself driving his 16 cars and trucks across the kitchen floor.

After dinner, he was bothered.  His grandpa had loaned the trailer out to a neighbor.  Upon its return, Grandpa left the trailer parked out front.  Ethan new full well that this is not where the trailer belongs.

 

He tried valiantly to attach the trailer to his go-cart,

and move it to the back of the house.

I laughed.  He donned his grandpa's work gloves,

and climbed into the trailer

in an attempt to figure out

what was keeping it from moving.

 

He cranked the front up and down several times the way he's seen Grandpa do.

When it began getting dark,

he finally believed me when I told him Grandpa was waiting until morning to pull it around to the back.

I was surprised to see Michael attach the trailer to his mower, early the next morning, before Ethan was awake.  It was probably just as well.

Something went wrong and the trailer landed in the ditch.

I was thankful that we didn't have to dial 911 & Ethan's grandpa had not ended up in the ditch underneath the trailer.
