Put your toys away

How to tell if a 9 year old boy doesn't really care about a toy:

Me: Jasper, this toy thingy here (some kind of playdough mush he made at summer camp)? I'm throwing it away.

Jasper: NO! PLEASE!

David: Okay, but you have to put it away then.

Jasper: Uh, okay - you can just throw it away.

So THAT'S why my classroom/house/life is such a mess...

Must get more garbage bags. :)

So funny! Kids want to keep everything. I have to sneak to throw my kid's stuff away, and even then I find them rifling through the garbage to see what I have tossed in.
