And Then There Are The Other Times
May 17, 2005
When they are so sweet, it makes your teeth ache.
I now have a vase full of “pretty flowers” on my kitchen table. At least this time they have stems.
Which really beats the floating dandelion heads arranged in a bowl as a centerpiece.

too sweet. What a cutie!

My mom threw away any dandelions I picked for her, so you’re already doing better than her. She did, however, let me DIG dandelions out of the yard (they had to be roots and all) for a penny apiece. One afternoon of that was all I needed to know that I was better off prostituting myself for ice-cream truck money.

Last month, when the snow finally melted for good, I offered the kids 5 cents for every stick they gathered up in the yard. Clearly I am insane, or oblivious to the amount of sticks we had in our yard, because they each found hundreds upon hundreds of sticks.
In the end, I managed to convince them that a pack of gum and tin of Altoids was a *much* better deal.

I want some dandelions.
