I hate waste. According to some philosopher, the deffinition of wealth, is waste. Ouch.
I eat my kid's leftovers since I do not like throwing away food. Water bottles that are half full and sitting with no owner makes me sad. Spending money on toys that get thrown away in two weeks makes me want to gather every toy, return them, and keep the money.
My son is in a choir competition. He is not happy about this. He had to take choir as an elective since he plays no instrument. He is missing sports tonight to - sing. He is supposed to wear navy blue pants. He has no navy blue pants. He doesn't wear pants unless it is absolutely necessary. It would have to raining, really hard. Nevertheless, I must go and purchase a pair of navy blue slacks, for one night, that he will never wear again.
I wish that I had time to shop the thrift stores for a decent pair of slacks with a $2.00 price tag, but I don't. So, I must shop around, and waste more money, on a pair of navy blue pants that will go unused. He is also supposed to wear dress shoes. I think that his black high-top basketball shoes conform to "dressy" standards, don't you? I draw the line at a purchase of "dressy shoes" that he will most assuredly never wear again, but he will have a sleek pair of black socks to go with his "dressy" basketball shoes.
