You know those blue signs they have for roads under construction, the ones with the shovel and the hardhat? When I was little, I thought the shovel/hardhat thing was a monster and if I looked at the picture it would come to life and would make the road drop out from underneath our car... i would hide under my blanket in my car seat until we got home.
