Not Quite Contrary

Me: “Hey Graham, let’s plant these vegetable seeds.”

Graham (eyes get huge): “We have vegetable seeds?”

Me: “Sure. Go look on the side table with the yellow lamp.”

Graham: “Wow, pumpkins and squash and beets and, oooooooh brussels sprouts!”

Graham and I planted seeds for a while this afternoon. If they all come up and thrive we’re going to be awash in pumpkins. That’s not even counting the sprouts from the miniature pumpkins and decorative gourds we had all over the house last Halloween, that we disposed of by throwing them off the deck.

I hope it works out for us. It’s going to be a hoot.
