we stopped in at my sister's the other morning for some yummy coffee and homemade cinnamon rolls ... yummy :) her 10-year old son came in and said "I need a trash bag, Mom." of course, she says "Why?" his reply pleasantly surprised me ... "We're going to go pick up trash outside."
yay! "SWEET!" i said ... "That's so awesome!"
his simple reply : "Well, if Indiana's not going to do it, then I am!"
you go, satch :) this made me so proud of you. and it also got my mind thinking ....
as cliche as this sounds, the kids are our future, right? they don't know what to do, they don't learn right from wrong, unless we teach them. satch & mad picked up a full huge bag of trash just near their road in a short amount of time .... i would love to put together some sort of program involving our KIDS (parents can help, but kids run it and get more kids involved) related to cleaning up our earth. it would be fun :) any hints/tips/suggestions : email me.
things like this are important. my nephew is already 10!? he will surely be a good influence and role model for his sister and my kids. he's on the right track :)
they're all on the right track. i think it would be great to put some of the responsibility right into their own hands, wouldn't it? what a pay-off it would be for them!!
