Mom replaced the garbage cans

Mom replaced the garbage cans in the house with Step Cans, which have the lid that pop open when you step on the pedal. Actually, I don't know for sure that mom's the one responsible for this change, but I think this is a safe assumption, kinda like how Gammons assumed that Pedro is a key for the Red Sox. I can just picture her wheeling a shopping cartful of the little buggers out of Target.

The step cans are spiff and all. I mean, I could be entertained for minutes at a time just watching the lids pop open as I step on them. On the other hand, I can't blow my nose, then turn and fire the Kleenex in for the buzzer-beating game-winner. And now that allergy season is coming, this is a significant source of amusement for me. Life can be hard.
