Littering

The other night we were in the parking lot at church and I was trying to get the boys unloaded from the car. Chase had fallen asleep so I was carrying him and was in the process of helping Seth down from the truck when the wind blew a piece of paper out of the car. I asked Seth to track it down when we had this exchange.

Seth: Why?
Me: We don't want to litter.

Seth captured the piece of paper.

Seth: What is littering?
Me: It is when we throw trash down on the ground.
Seth: Is it illegal?
Me: Yes.
Seth: What can happen?
Me: They can make us pay a fine but also God doesn't like it either.
Seth: But God saw the wind blow it out. He knows it was an accident.

I then had to explain that it was only littering if you left the trash on the ground...
