Ryan Recycles

A tiny token engraved with the word "crazy," a lug nut, fuzzy orange pom poms, a pipe cleaner, plastic goodly eyes, a yellow highlighter, a broken pencil, beads, a piece of rope, a buckle, a bouncy ball, an empty water bottle, a doohicky, a thingamabob, and a whatchamacallit . . .

Mom [after looking at the "crazy token" Ryan found on the bus]: Ryan, you find some very interesting things.
Ryan: Yeah. I like to recycle. . . It's good for the earth.

Ryan told me that he was supposed to make a project for school out of recycled items, but I haven't seen anything come home telling about this project. It may only have been a suggestion, but you can be sure that Ryan has been asking me every day this week about this project. I guess I know something we will be doing this weekend.

Update: Not long after having this conversation with Ryan, he made me this special note.
