Tuesdays With Mooch: Toilet Roll Hunt

November 30, 2010 · Posted in mooch, Parenting, tuesdays with mooch 


I was going to blog about something completely different today, but when I discovered this, it had to be posted.

I was preparing dinner last night and noticed that since we had come home, Mooch had disappeared for a while. This was not unusual, because she normally takes a bathroom break as soon as we hit the door each afternoon. It just seemed to be taking her a longer time, so I went to check on her.

She wasn’t in the bathroom. She was decorating a toilet paper roll with pipe cleaners. “What are you making, honey?” I asked.

“I’m just decorating the roll.” She replied, as though this were normal. “I do it every time.”

“Wait, you’ve done this to all of your toilet paper rolls?” I asked. “Where are the others?” She pointed across the room to one and pulled another from under her bed.

“I can’t throw them away, because that’s bad for the planet.” She remarked, adding tape to a giant paper towel roll. I smiled. I went back in the kitchen, because I was on the phone with two of my friends. Though I couldn’t help but think that I probably didn’t explain recycling well enough, I was ecstatic at the idea that my child was trying to save the planet one toilet paper roll at a time.
