Maddie: Today we learned about recycling.

Me: Oh yeah? What did you learn?

Maddie: I learned you can recycle cats!

Me: Cats?! How do you do that?

Maddie: I don’t know. But someone of Ms. Vicki’s, they use the same paper plate for 3 weeks! And a napkin, for 3 weeks!

Me: Impressive. What else did you learn?

Maddie: You can go to the replacement store and get the lens of your sunglasses replaced.

Me: Really? And that’s recycling?

Maddie: Yeah. And they said, string…and water.

Me: What about the cats?  I want to know how you recycle cats.

Maddie: I don’t know. How do you recycle water? And string?  I still do not know how you recycle cats. That was Jackson’s suggestion.

Me: What was your suggestion?

Maddie: Bottles. And caps. Not the kind of caps you wear on your head though, the kind for a bottle.

Me: Why were you learning about recycling?

Maddie: I don’t know.
