They say
that you’re supposed to
talk to your plants every
day to keep them healthy,
***
but some-times,
in the middle of the night,
I’ll suddenly remember that
I forgot.
***
So I’ll get out of bed,
go downstairs,
creep into the kitchen,
and say,
“You up?”

Yes but it is nearly always complaints. Too much water. Not enough water. Too close to the window. Not close enough. The usual.

Have you thought about keeping your plants in the bedroom so you won’t have to go downstairs into the kitchen on such occasions (or would that take away your excuse to grab a beer and a midnight snack while you’re at it –haha)?

Well, the plants snore for one. But I am more of a standing in the kitchen after midnight with a bowl of cereal kind of guy.

I tried that and was dismayed to see my plants weren’t even there. I waited till 5am when finally they rolled in worse for wear, singing, knocking things over, and telling me how much they love me all of a sudden.

Unfortunately, my plants are never up. They are sick of hearing me talk and have laid down for their last breath.

If it is any consolation, know your plants are in heaven now and probably looking down upon you as you read this.

I had to attend a dress-up party, so I thought I would go the ‘filipino’ dress up route, which is much more easy and relaxed.

Handlebars are for sissies. Rug rangers have joysticks.
