Quite literally.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My little gal takes after her mama. \u00a0She recycles and composts everything she can. \u00a0She’s adamant that others do it too – “to save our planet”.<\/p>\n

But the truth is, I can’t take all the credit. \u00a0A year ago or so, Jaia watched Toy Story 3. \u00a0Great movie. \u00a0If you haven’t seen it, I apologize in advance for the spoiler, but at a certain point, the toys find themselves in quite the predicament – on a conveyor belt that takes trash to an incinerator. \u00a0To a little kid, the thought of the toys burning is terrifying.<\/p>\n

Ever since that day, we are not allowed to throw anything out. \u00a0Anything. \u00a0Paper. \u00a0Socks with holes in them. \u00a0Empty loot bags. \u00a0Broken crayons. \u00a0All forbidden. \u00a0Because of they are thrown out, they’ll be burned. \u00a0We actually have to hide what we throw away from her. \u00a0And heaven forbid I get caught like I did the other day when she spied a broken Tinkerbell light up fairy thing with a broken wing in the trash. \u00a0Big. Trouble.<\/p>\n

It’s kind of win\/win though, isn’t it? \u00a0She recycles (and saves the planet in the process) and paper, holey socks and broken crayons don’t get burned to a crisp – until she’s not looking, that is. \u00a0Out of sight, out of mind.<\/p>\n

(For the record, we’ve explained to her that all garbage is not burned, but she’s sticking to this one. \u00a0I’m a ‘pick your battle’ kind of gal and this one isn’t worth fighting…for now. \u00a0\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
