fire hydrants

Meet Jack's latest obsession: the common urban fire hydrant. The kid is VERY into fire hyrdrants all of a sudden; "pire hyrants," he calls them, and he is constantly on the watch for them as we drive. This makes for exciting drives as we are never out of sight of a fire hydrant! We had never realized just how many differences there are among fire hydrants: combinations of colors, top sizes and styles, body sizes and styles... Jack likes to point them all out to us.
Some of the running commentary heard on our drive down Monticello this evening:

"oooooh! Look, dere's one! It have a short top. .... It's RED! Dat one have a large top..... OOOH!! I tee one. I tee dat pire hydrant. It's behind me now..."

Etc, etc.
