Oh how much I loathe love the: cheap plastic toys, coloring book pages, pieces of paper, 'art' projects, junk creative expressions my kids bring home from school or parties.
I admit it.
I tend to sometimes toss it.
Well . . . a lot of times.
I keep the projects that actually demonstrate some learning, that the Peanuts really love, and that touch my heart or funny-bone in some way. That still leaves about ten million tossable items a week.
As the Peanuts get more aware, I am beginning to have empathy for Roger Clemens, Bill Clinton and OJ Simpson:
Peanut: Mom, where are my two big bags full of rolled-up paper telescopes I made?
Me: hmmm
Peanut: Mom, I put them right in the middle of the living room here in my special spot!
Me: Oh, did you?
Peanut (agitated): Mom, did you throw them away?
Me: I'm not sure.
Peanut: Mom, where are they?!
Me: I don't recall.
Peanut (clamoring through the recycle bin): Maaaaahm!
Me: I can't remember.
Anyone know a good lawyer?!
