Conversation with a First Grader

As I was driving Madelyn to Awana tonight the conversation went something like this:

Madelyn: Mama, can you tell me all the recycles?

Me: The recycles?

Madelyn: Yes the recycles.

Me: You mean like plastic and paper?

Madelyn: NO!! Like John and Peter....

Me: OH!! The Disciples?

Madelyn: Yes, the disciples (with a tone like Duh?!?!?)


It wouldn't be unusual to have a discussion about recycleable products with Madelyn because she seems to be going "green." Anytime we throw something away such as paper or plastic she reminds us that we could recycle such products. And on several occasions she has expressed interest in making a compost pile. I quickly remind her that this family is not going green. What are they teaching my child at school? Geez!
