We live in the land of green. Aside from living in the Emerald City in the Evergreen State, surrounded by evergreen trees on all sides, we also happen to live in a region where getting "green" and protecting our environment is beyond trendy. As such, our kids are used to hearing about the importance of saving energy and being green.
My daughter went to a birthday party recently, in which the birthday girl had sent out gorgeous invitations, shaped like cupcakes. When the birthday girl opened up one of the cards attached to a present, she found a card that looked just like her invitation. The girl who gave it to her told her the card was on the other side, where she had drawn a cute picture and written a 'Happy Birthday' message. The birthday girl's mom told her it was a creative idea, to which the young girl replied, "we recycled."
I learned later from the girl's mother that the girl panicked on the way to the party that they didn't have a card, so her mom told her to just make one on the back of the invitation. The girl scoffed, and Mom simply told her, "Honey, that's good. We have to recycle and save the planet." I wish I could take credit for that one, because I thought it was a pure work of genius.
