It's amazing how many she carries around with her without really noticing that they are piling up.<br /><br />I also find it amazing how many dishes I find in the children's rooms even though food isn't allowed in bedrooms.

Last week my son, who takes out the trash, didn't feel like going to the end of the driveway and retrieving the can. So he set the bag of trash next to the house. I didn't say anything. The next morning he spent half an hour picking up the scattered garbage, after some animal helped itself to the whole bag.
