My Busy Garbage Guy

This is one of my favorite Deep Thoughts....
“Here’s a good thing to do if you go to a party and you don’t know anybody: First take out the garbage. Then go around and collect any extra garbage that people might have, like a crumpled napkin, and take that out too. Pretty soon people will want to meet the busy garbage guy.”

Keaton has turned into my busy garbage guy lately. He is very curious about the trash, and is constantly looking around on the floor for bits of spilled crumbs or paper ("like a crumpled up napkin") to put into the trash can. Even though it can be quite helpful to have little trashman around clearing the floors for me all the time, I have to be very careful, because sometime his idea of trash and mine can be somewhat different (i.e. sippy cups, toy cars, and cell phones).
