GRAVEDIGGER




Gravedigger (yes, the monster truck) has become a hero in our family. One evening, Addison was fussy and I was struggling to boost her spirits. thinking back on a radio spot I heard earlier that day, I repeated the low, slow garble, "GRAVEDIGGER." Addison thought it was hilarious.




Not to be outdone, Savannah wanted to make Addison laugh also, so she repeated in a not so low and not so slow tone, "GRAVEDIGGER." Addison thought Savannah's version was much funnier. And so it began. For the last week, walking by our house or car, you may very well hear Savannah or I (or most likely, both) saying "GRAVEDIGGER" and fits of laughter ensuing.




Friends have teased that it figures that my children are humored by monster trucks, but I say, "If it works, use it."
