The Big Red Firetruck
December 6th, 2009
By John Myron
I took my boy (3 years old) back to my hometown on the Fourth of July. We sat under the same tree that I sat under when I was a boy in what use to be my front yard to watch the Fourth of July parade. We had a great time – he scrambled to get candy thrown from cars and floats and he even brought some back to share with me. I love him. He pestered this little girl whose name was Ciarra by imitating everything she did until she warmed up to him and they became best friends. They had their own little show going on and kept folks doubly entertained with their dancing and marching to the music coming from the bands and floats.
The beginning of the parade featured my hometown’s high school band, mayor, chief of police, and red fire engines. He loves fire engines. I told him there would be green ones and white ones and yellow ones later in the parade from the neighboring towns. He wanted to know if there would be blue ones. I said I didn’t think so but we would see. The parade continued with clowns, bands, girls dancing with batons, and floats. There was also a scottish pipe band which my son took a special liking to even imitating them by using his arm as if he was pressing the air out of the bagpipe. This surprised me since as a kid, I didn’t like the Scottish pipe band; although, I do now. Anyway, the end of the parade had a couple miles of firetrucks. My son was in his glory. When I was going up, I remember screaming “Ring your siren!” No more. Everyone of those fire engines and ambulances in the parade were blowing their horns and ringing their sirens. I tried to get him to cover his ears (thinking maybe that is why I am losing my hearing now from all those parades) but he would have none of it. This was his time to enjoy, eat candy and take it all in.
The Big Red Firetruck can give your son hours of playtime. It is a ride-on toy powered by his little feet and is made of sturdy wooden construction with metal axels, solid rubber tires, realistic graphics, and a natural wood steering wheel (that free spins). Big Red also has a convenient storage compartment under the seat, which can be accessed thru a removable door in the truck. Will your son or daughter be dreaming of the parade he or she is riding in or of the fire they are putting out?
