Dissecting The Garbage Can Myth

This is an actual conversation I had with my 18 month old daughter one afternoon after I taught her to throw her empty jelly containers in the garbage can on the morning of the same day:

Baby: "Blanket garbage"

Me: "No, sweetie, you throw the blanket in the garbage, you'll never see it again.  Anything you throw in the garbage you don't get to see again."

Baby stares at me a moment, then scrambles down from the bed and opens the garbage can.

Baby: "Jelly still there."
