Plant

Now here is a strange story about little Ride.... We were at my sisters for a visit one afternoon. She and I were in the back room sorting out clothes that my niece had outgrown and was giving me. The children were in the family type room playing playstation or something like that... Obviously not up on the games.... We get our sorting done and notice that Ride has something in his mouth..... Hummmm, he is 5 years old. I am sure we are past putting things in the mouth....... I proceed to ask the dreaded question "what is in your mouth? He says the plant.... WHAT?!?! He actually took a bite out of my sisters plant. What was he thinking??? Was he thinking it was lettuce from a garden?? I think not. We have never had a garden inside the house in a pot... Maybe he was starving to death and needed a snack... I hardly think so, since we had just had bologna sandwhiches before we left the house... What could the answer be??? Well I am waiting....... He says "It looked good so I thought I would try it!" WHAT?!?! I will never get it... Needless to say my sister was having a heart attack thinking he was poisoned. She had only 2 girls so has never experienced anything of this sort.... I had to keep reassuring her that he didn't eat enough and that he had a stomache of steel. She continued to worry all day about this little incident.. I guess that is why God loaned me this child and not her...... Well here we are 3 days later and he is still alive. However, she will always have the bite out of the leaf to remind her about how lucky she was to have girls that never tried strange things and the theory that to always watch Ride around the house plants... I got a kick out of Ride and my sister that day. Everyone needs a good laugh occasionally... It just happens more often around here it seems... God Bless....
