The oldest one knows about what time husband usually goes to bed and will pace around if he stays up past his regular bedtime in an effort to get him moving as it's her bedtime too. When my daughter shows up they expect a bite of an apple fritter or donut.
But when the trash truck shows up every Wednesday morning between 7:30 and 8:00, it's always a surprise that requires much barking and growling. Same thing again between 4:00 and 4:30 that same afternoon when the recycle truck comes through the alley.
They aren' t surprised. They are just trying to tell you that somebody is stealing all the really good smelling stuff you keep in the box on the curb....
