MATT DRISCOLL: MY PREDICTION FOR THE WEEK >>>

Touching stuff is fun.

So is letting other people touch your stuff. (Just ask George Michael. Wham!)

But all joking aside, Pierce County’s Sprinker Recreation Center will give kids of all ages the chance to “Touch a Truck” on Saturday, Sept. 12. And we all know how much kids love trucks â€" so this one should be a winner. From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. kids in attendance at Sprinker will have an opportunity to climb on fire engines, hop in dump trucks, not to mention get behind the wheel of bucket trucks, tractors, military vehicles and more.

Prediction
After letting their 3-, 5- and 7-year-old boys touch all sorts of trucks at Sprinker’s Touch a Truck day â€" from big-ass farm tractors to super cool fire engines â€" the Smith family, from Spanaway, will decide to take a lovely stroll through Spanaway Lake Park on their way home. Unlike their experience earlier in the day at Sprinker, however, after stumbling upon a suspicious looking mattress in the woods both Smith parents will be heard screaming to their children, “Oh my god! Don’t touch anything!”
