Like most schools in America, our local school made a major push last year for recycling. Ever since then my kids are constantly asking- "Can this be recycled?"
Normally this wouldn't bug me. I am all for the 3 R's (reduce, recycle, reuse).
Reduce- I have cut back on my family's intake of snacks.
Recycle- I was one of the first in my city to sign up for a recycling container (before they mandated it- sorta).
Reuse- I wear my jeans more than once before I wash them.
See how conscientious I am? So, when the following conversation happened I was a little worried about exactly what they taught my kids about recycling.
Snake - Mom, recycling is when we come back alive.
Mom - Son, I think you mean resurrection.
Snake - Ya, that's right.
Theme song- It's not easy being green by Kermit the Frog.
