The Mother's Day Plant: Update

My adorable little Mother's Day plant has unfortunately turned into a daily reminder that I am a failure at taking care of living things:

I hope they give us chocolate next year. I have never failed at chocolate.

Sorry, but you inherited that "black thumb" from your mother. It's genetic.

It's still alive?! Kudos!

At least Weston's still alive and kicking. I think this just demonstrates your amazing ability to prioritize.

5 months is longer than I have every kept vegetation alive. I count it a success. Especially since some parts are still green.

Prioritizing! That's hilarious.

Lisa said...

I can't keep anything alive either. Oh, except Jonathan.

I agree, BRING ON THE CHOCOLATE!

Abby said...

I hear you! But like everyone else has pointed out -- VERY impressive that you've kept it alive THIS long! AND it still has GREEN on it! All is not lost.

But I also agree, CHOCOLATE is a MUCH, MUCH better Mother's Day gift.

I guess this explains why Weston has thinned out so much over the past few months...

This cracks me up. Mine sat in our kitchen window sill until a few days before Tate was born. I couldn't take the pressure of watering it anymore knowing there was another something to be fed on its way. I threw it out. I vote chocolate for next year as well.

Hey Jean, guess what somebody might be getting for Christmas...

sachia said...

Oh, don't get me started on the whole chocolate debacle. I was one of the retards standing for cholcolate. Hopefully, next year maybe somebody will join me in the stand for chocolate???

My new favorite quote ever: "I have never failed at chocolate."

Awesome.
