Saturday Conversations

Upon seeing plants growing up through the blacktop
--Nature! Isn't nature incredible?
--Are you kidding? Humans are totally kicking nature's ass right now.
--OK, weeds. Aren't weeds incredible?


Competitive Mothering
--Look at that woman using her baby sling! Pretty impressive! She gets points off for the pacifier though.
--What about me? How many points off do I get for all these poppy seeds in my baby's hair?
--Not too many but you do get 1/8 of a point off for that dried onion.
Later, that evening: How much for cilantro?
