(at food court)
Me: (dumps trash)
Me: “Oh crap! I just dumped trash into the recycling slot. I didn’t see the signs until it was too late.”
Custodian: “Don’t worry, it all goes to the same place.”
Me: “What.”
Custodian: “What.”

He Really Cares
Me: “Here, throw this away.”
Danger Monkey, age 9: (reads the box) “No way! That’s recyclable!”
Me: “Sure, but it’s smeared with a ton of food. No one is going to wash that just so we can recycle it.”
DM: “I will.”
Me: “Really? You will?”
DM: “It’s good for the environment, which you don’t care about.”
DM: (washes box and recycles it)
Me: “You win. You care more about the environment than I do.”
Half Price Redemption
I love Half Price Books! I just bought the kid 9 paperback classics… All Caldecott and Newberry award winners… And a tote bag… For $8.00. Most important to me is that those books won’t end up in dumpsters. Another mind is opened, or three, and then we’ll pass them on.
