Wow. This is the cutest kid ever!

And it's a great story, too - go read.

Cradles to crayons

And if all you have are old crayons and you aren't willing to deal with them yourself - crayon recycling!

Actual conversation with my mother:

"You know, for a while a lot of people weren't sure you could ever get a job and survive on your own, but I don't think that's true anymore."

Given that I don't currently have a job (well, other than the obvious) and don't live on my own, this was not very reassuring.

In fact, I'm quite certain I could have happily gone my entire life without ever hearing this. Really. REALLY.
