07.12.09: One Person's Trash is Another One's Trash

Over the weekend, we heard that the lake community where my parents live was having a clean up day the next morning. So I figured, "great, I will take the kids and we can help out." Good plan and good execution. See photo with respective trash hauls.

During the roadside walk, trash gathering, my five-year old continued to have questions like, "why don't people keep trash in their car?" and "there are a lot of smokers (cigarettes) thrown around. That's not very nice is it?" (My wife and other son were working from the other end towards us.) During the finding of a paint bucket, I heard, "Well you don't see that every day," from the insightful youth.

It was a good experience for all and proves, to me, that kids do say what's on their mind and usually get right to the point.

Oh and he got poison ivy too.
