Earth

Nick's school celebrated Earth Week last week. Everyday he'd come home with some new, random bit of information. The one night out of nowhere he came out with "we need to save the earth...teacher said". I starting telling him all the ways we're trying to save the earth (recycling, turning lights off when we're not using them, not wasting water). Then we tried to head upstairs to bed, except he was yelling "THE LIGHT! YOU LEFT THE LIGHT ON AND AREN'T USING IT!" Sigh. This from the kid who used to make us leave all the hall lights on when he went to sleep.

The other one he came up with (and which took me several times to understand what he was saying - beems? beans?) was "We're all beings. People are beings". This from the kid who tried to kill worms last weekend.
