Big kid has been on lunch monitor duty at school for the past couple weeks. He enjoys making sure his little bro is all right, and, it turns out, cleaning up all the mess the little kids make. So much so that the headteacher commended him for his efforts.

Yesterday, on the drive to somewhere near enough to school for them to scoot in from, big kid announced:

“Dad, when I’m older, I’m going to clean up this town!”

I said it’s a big job and suggested he might want to think about starting now, and starting with the streets around the school with some of his friends. Fortunately, there’s a local group who already do just that.

It would be good to get started when the school street starts next month.
