Keep Your Cardboard

A text message came to my phone. It was in all caps and it read KEEP YOUR CARDBOARD. Now when the grandchildren take the time to “borrow” a phone and send a text in all caps you know they really mean it.  Since I had no idea what they needed it for I save everything large and small. 

The phone call came a couple days later. “Do you know Chris Gilmour?

“No, I don’t believe I do? Do you know him?”

“Nope, but I know about him. He makes really cool things out of cardboard and glue. They call it art. “

“Oh, have you seen his art?”

“We did at school it is really cool. He lives in England I think. We think that maybe we will be cardboard art makers too. “

With my background you might have guessed what I said, “Well you can do anything you’d like as long as you keep your grades up and out of trouble. (I have been saying that since they were born. I was trying to plant seeds.) So we’ll see how long they want to be artists.

  1. Aww, kids need to express themselves, it’s a good thing.
    Hopefully they won’t create a big mess. That’s what art usually does, especially with children.
    Perhaps it might actually help with grades if they make something good out of it and show the result at school. Some sort of school project. ?
    Thanks for telling us about Chris Gilmour, I never heard of him either, until now.
