Teens can sleep through anything...

These workers were taking out a driveway right across the street. It was already
9:15 a.m. Every time the guy dumped some concrete into the truck, he made a heckuva
noise, and set off a car alarm nearby. In other words, it was quite a racket.

My 18 year old daughter, now a freshman at a nearby college, slept through the whole thing.



Also, if you look closely, you can make out the head of a small boy, obviously the
son of the machine operator, sitting to the left of his dad.
It was really cool that his dad brought him to work today.

Teens need that late sleep. She'd better enjoy it now. She probably won't get another good chance at it until she retires :-)

I remember going to bed & being able to read more than one line of a book before dropping off to sleep too !! ;>)

Looks like he'll plans on getting it all in one load Gary. The noise should go away till the cement truck arrives.

She has to charge up those brain cells to keep them open for learning.

Sleep of the innocent, (it would wake me up).
In the England the HSE (Health and Safety Executive) would prosecute the machine operator for putting his son in a very dangerous enviroment. Many children have been killed in accidents involving heavy machinery, especially on farms.

That's what teenagers do! Wish I could!
