Slamming the cardboard!

It is Tuesday, so I put the trash out along with my recycling. They do a single stream recycling here so it is very easy to toss it all into one pile.

We went to an auction this week, so we had a lot of boxes to get rid of. The recyclers take cardboard as well. So, I had a large pile of boxes set out on the curb.

A few minutes later, a neighbor's kid knocked on the door and asked if he could jump into the pile of boxes. He said he would clean up the mess afterwards. We said OK and watched him as he dived onto the pile of boxes. We thought it was great.

The kid was a young skateboarder. So is my stepson. When my stepson was in his teens, he and his friends slammed themselves into the basement wall until they busted through the wall and outside. My wife repaired the large hole in the basement wall by putting a door in it.

I think slamming the cardboard is much better than slamming into a wall and causing a lot of homeowner damage, but boys need some kind of outlet.

Makes me think of a cardboard playground for these boys to knock themselves out in. Hmmm.... a recyclable playground....

Have a green day!
