This morning as we were leaving to go to school, the men came to pick up the recycling. Charlie asked me what they were doing. I told him that they came to get all of our recycling. We followed the truck out of the neighborhood and Charlie wanted to know where it was going. I explained to him that they take the recycling to a company with special equipment and make things like paper plates, napkins, cups, and lots of other things. He changed the subject and didn't mention recycling until 5:00 tonight.
So tonight, he practiced cutting paper with scissors, and then wanted to recycle it. It took me a long time to follow his train of thought because he didn't just say that he wanted to recycle the paper. He kept saying he needed to put the paper in a bag and squish it up. Finally, I got what he was talking about when he said he wanted to make a cup. It was the cutest thing. I spent the next thirty minutes trying to explain to him that we didn't have the special equipment to make new cups and plates. He is definitely a free thinker.
