this is the speech big j put together for his class on earth day. as you can see, he may grow up to write infomercials! or car ads! or persuasive documentaries! ah, who doesn't love the exclamation point? at any rate, i got a kick out of it...especially the clip art of the kittens playing with the ball of string and the tree. you can't read the bottom paragraph very well, but there's a sentence that says "Remember, trash is for people who have ham for brains."

he did take his report to heart. I went to pick him up from school and he said "cars pollute the earth. i want no part of it" and we walked home. this morning we rode our bikes.

it's kinda nice to have a little tree hugger in the house.
