Tearing Paper

Oh my heavens, I was just thinking about how when I was in elementary school my friends and I went throught this phase in life where we would tear paper. Anything we could get our hands on, I'm not even sure all of it was old or ready to be torn up, but it didn't matter we would tear it up. I remember being in Mr. Bates' class and sitting at the back of the room (or at our desks) and each of us would have this stack of paper that we would tear through out the day. After we had torn it up we would put it into a Ziploc bag and then we would send it to off be recycled. I guess we thought that if it was torn then we could get more money for it. Crazy Kids!
