Nigel hadn't been feeling well for a couple of days, and had not been sleeping very late in the mornings. Upon his waking this morning, Dad was able to encourage him back to sleep for another hour in his arms.
Afterward, while waiting for some toast to cook for breakfast, the garbage truck came by. Dad took Nigel outside to watch the garbage truck empty cans on the other side of the street. Nigel liked this very much, and requested that the truck come back after it went around the corner. They waited for the truck to empty the cans in the rest of the neighborhood, and got a quick glimpse of it as it went through the street behind the house.
While waiting, anxious to see the garbage truck again, Nigel kept saying, "Man, garbage... man?" Finally, the truck came back around to do our side of the street, and Dad and Nigel happily watched it empty all of the cans visible from the house.
Update 2010-05-10: Ever since that day, Nigel has been very interested in garbage trucks and garbage men. He mentions garbage trucks and the garbage man frequently.
