My 8 year old scolded me for buying paper plates and then lectured me on the environmental impact of the purchase.

Okay, so I don’t usually buy them but we were having a birthday party and I don’t have enough plates for dinner AND cake for everyone.  I buy them very infrequently and we use them up and don’t buy them again until the next birthday.  I guess I’ll have to figure something else out, like buy an extra set up inexpensive plates.
