This piece on saving/throwing away childrens’ art makes me laugh out loud. I am a ruthless thrower-awayer of art. And, like the writer, I’ve been busted more times than I can count. I wedge the kindergarten worksheets in between cereal boxes in the recycling bin, I bury the “boat” made out of toilet paper rolls in the trash can, etc.
The avalanche of art is overwhelming. I’ve taken to sending copious numbers of drawings and paintings to the grandparents and even the godparents (who also have small children of their own and thus as somewhat less charmed by the additional construction paper offerings).
Anyway, funny.
