This morning, I found a bonsai tree on my desk. A Miniature Jade, to be precise.
I have just now read its instructions, watered it and put it on top of the television, where the cats don’t tread. I will think of a name later.
In the past, we always named our plants after action movie heroes. Kurt Russell the Plant, Jean Claude Van Damme the Plant, and obviously, Chuck Norris the Plant. None of these action packed flora were able to survive our two ill mannered cats, who can’t seem to control themselves around fresh greenery.
I hope that a better fate will be granted to this newest member of the Oakley/Scott residence.
Maybe I just won’t name it after an action hero.

It makes me incredibly happy to think that vegetation spontaneously appears around you. And no, this is not a passive deflowering joke.

Thank you. I was incredibly happy, too, until I found out that Charles Ingalls the Plant was actually a gift for Roommate’s grandmother. These are the reasons why I have commitment issues; everything I love gets taken away.
