I went to pick up my daughter from cheerleading practice and thought I saw a dog walking down a hill in my neighborhood. Uh, no, it's a black plastic bag rolling in the wind. Sheesh. Pick up my daughter and then stop to pick up the bag. Of course, I made her get out of the car…
Are you serious mom?

You go girl (Mom)!
Well, gee, you and your daughter qualify for one of your OWN bags, under our "EARN A BAG" program :) :)
Bagette Dad
Very pretty daughter of handbag
Ha Ha! :)
A parents purpose in life is to embarrass their children!!!! Just ask mine : )
I agree! :)
Love it!!!!
My response to my kids under those circumstances was always,"Well,if someone else had picked it up then I wouldn't have had to!"
Thanks Simple Walk and Kathleen. :) Good advice Kathleen!
Your story (with photos, even!) gave me a smile. Thanks.
Thanks Gail! :)
Ah.... Ya know I love this and both of you.
We heart you too Harmony! Of course, she would have picked it up for you without complaint!
Well, Teresa, as I heard another parent say in reference to his own kids today, "I am not their friend. I am their parent!" You are doing the absolutely best thing, complaints from your children or not.
Imagine what our world would be like if EVERY parent insistently taught their kids to pick up stuff after themselves AND others. I suspect that in a while there would be no trash from "others"...and no trash!
Best,
Gaia
I'm sure you are right Gaia! Unfortunately, I don't see that happening anytime soon!
