Pnut is on spring break this week and is busy playing with friends while I work. This morning as I was leaving she asked me where I was going and I told her. I also told her that on Friday I would be home with her, just her and me. She then said to me.
Pnut: Mommy can we go get trash so that it's good in the place that we all live?
Me: Do you mean you want to go pick up trash?
Pnut: Yes, because it's good to be safe in the place where we all live, and not dirty. Like in Kai-lan.
My daughter is quick to pick up things as you can see. She has a very kind heart underneath her stubborn independent outside persona. D has taken her since she was 2 to the annual Desert Cleanup in Barstow. She constantly picks trash up outside and will say, "Look I'm making it good in the place we all live."
Now, to see if she really wants to do this, the first idea that popped into my head was going with some bags to pick up trash at the beach. But if the weather is crazy, we may just go to a park, or even just for a walk. You never know what needs cleaning in the place we all live.
