Trash Talk (+deals)

This morning when I took the boys out for our walk, a woman in scrubs was getting out of her car.  She passed by and commented on how cute the dogs were and then stopped walking.

Her: Did you hear that?
Me: What?
THUMP!
Her: I'm pretty sure there are rats stuck in that garbage can >points< I could hear them squeaking when I got out of my car.

Sure enough, throughout our entire walk we heard and saw the garbage bin's lid open a few inches and slam down.  I'm glad she warned me because that's typically where I toss the boy's business bags. Ew!

When I left for work the lid was entirely open and propped up. I wonder if they broke free or some unfortunate person had rats jump out at them as they went to throw away their trash.
