It's garbage day

Those of you who are responsible for getting the garbage curbside every week will appreciate this... For some reason, my children love to mock me with garbage day. Whatever the reason, they know what day of the week is "garbage day" and love to gleefully remind me, not only that morning, but also the night before ("garbage eve") that I need to take the garbage out. Here's this morning's exchange:

The Girl: Dad, guess what day it is?
Me: I don't know. What day is it?
The Girl: It's garbage day!
Me: No it's not.
The Girl: It's Thursday, right?
Me: Yes.
The Girl: Thursday is garbage day, right?
Me: Yes.
The Girl: So, today is garbage day!
Me: No it's not.
The Girl: *looking puzzled* But it's Thursday.
Me: Yep.
The Girl: So, today is garbage day, right?
Me: Nope.
The Girl: Huh?
Me: That just happened! Doesn't that just blow your mind!

If you're not laughing yourself silly, there are two things you should know: garbage this week is delayed a day due to the Memorial Day holiday and "That just happened!" is a Ricky Bobby quote.
