Given how many little "big animals on wheels" we've had from all over the world, I think the prehistoric equivalent of "Truck Kid" might be "Ox Kid."

As the parent of a toddler... can confirm.
Which makes me wonder--historian bluesky, I know the whole concept of childhood used to be different and/but/also developmentally kids and have been kids forever, so what was the pre-industrial equivalent of loving garbage trucks? Do we know?

one of my favorite things about tiny children is that it does not matter what their race, gender or culture is
they all love Garbage Truck equally
Now that the contract's been signed, I can share details of a short story sale at which I'd previously only hinted. "All the Things He Loved Beyond Him" will appear in an upcoming issue of @translunartl.bsky.social. Check out the link for more info about the magazine. translunartravelerslounge.com
I've been dipping into older issues recently, and 'Great Mother Broth' by @sarahijackson.bsky.social made me smile today.

I went to a two-year-old’s birthday party today and their parents booked an LA Waste Management trash truck to come park out front and the way these kids RAN to see this thing up close!!! The WM reps also had party favors and coloring books. Lowkey want to book it for my own birthday
