Kids know ... there is a great thrill in find one's own power. There is a magical sense when pushing a button rings a bell , turns on a light, turns on a motor, a vacuum maybe, lights up a screen.

The kid know. Make the pulling motion in the air and the trucker can't resist, pull the air horn, thrill the kids. The kids know. They cause the honk.

Adult? Hate truck horns? Maybe you've buried the inner child. Ya, lost your sense of exploration ... and fun, maybe? Maybe freedom?

If any of the mainstream media would have taken time to ask the truckers why they were there, they would have heard the same line repeated many times: "For the kids". Love this story. We were there for the kids, with the kids, letting kids be kids.

There are so many facets to the story that we don't consider. Thanks Donna for highlighting them.
