SAVE SANTA, Chapter 11

I'm going to tell you a scary Santa story about a Global Bully, Mr. Blade, but it is really about the whole planet. I've always cared a little bit about Earth ever since my magical babysitter told me to when I was 7 years old. She always smelled like Paris and had candy breath. Amanda, this really cuddly cute college girl, taught me not to litter and to only step on spiders if they were crawling on my brother Timmy. And she told me we only had one planet and we needed to take care of it.

Sometimes I hear some news from a pretty person and I just believe it without thinking about if it is really true. I'm probably the only one on the whole flat Earth who does that, and it can get me in terrible trouble. I don't remember what else she said, but I remember she said we needed to save water if we wanted to save the planet. She looked me right in my eye holes and she was all I needed to hear and I got to work. I quit using the dishwasher and licked the forks and spoons clean. I stopped washing my socks. And I invented a thing in the bathroom called, when it's yellow let it mellow, when it's brown flush it down.

I kept track of how many gallons I saved and my babysitter would front hug me every time I gave her an update. I love free hugs and wanted more. I realized that it would be a good idea to weewee in the shower drain instead of wasting toilet water. And that was my new thing. I saved 5 gallons with every tinkle, but my Momma was as mad as a mouse trap about it and she snapped one night. I guess I am supposed to only do that when she isn’t in the bathtub.

I’m all grown now, 8th grade, and I’ve found new ways to REDUCE, REUSE, and RECYCLE, and I hope you will too.
