Tonight- Jonny went to see Beauty & The Beast at the High School with the Stuart family tonight. It was just me & Lex. Lex wasn't feeling well, but we decided to take a trip to the mall anyway. This basically how our conversation went....
Amber, "Lex, how are you feeling?"
Lex, "I am feeling that we should do something about the smoke going into the air. It is causing global warming and I want it to stop. I really like penguins."
What? If I wasn't in the driver's seat of my car I would have fallen out of my chair. Is my 7 year old really trying to have a discussion on global warming with me? I call Mom and tell her to remember the story for me so that I can write it down. No sooner than I hang up with Mom when Lex comes up with an even better solution!!
"Mom, how about if we find some way to keep the smoke in Utah. Then maybe this place with warm up and my little penguin friends will be able to keep their polar ice hats." (I think he was trying to talk about polar ice "caps".) Precious!!

This wasn't Lex's first desire to save the environment from smoke. Awhile ago we went shopping. Lex saw some of the employees standing outside of the entrance smoking on their break. Lex decided to shout at the top of his lungs to them, "Smoking takes 7 minutes off your life!!!" Thanks Lex, now maybe one of them will quit.
