While waiting for a prescription at Hannaford's Market on Monday, I spied the cutest little rosemary bush. It was about a foot and a half high and shaped vaguely like a Christmas tree. There were others which were ultra pruned to look like Christmas trees, but the one I liked looked more like a bush. Rosemary is my favorite herb; so fragrant and tasty. I couldn't help myself and shelled out the fifteen dollars.
Upon arriving home I placed my little tree on the kitchen table. Teds and Ray scampered into the room to check out the scene. "No, Mommy, no!" wails Teds. "No! We want a BIG tree! No!" Teds mistakenly thinks this is our annual Christmas tree. Ray starts to freak out, "That's stupid! We want a big tree, that's STUPID!" There was panic in his voice. I, of course, had no idea they would mistake this for our Christmas tree. It struck me quite funny. Before I blurted out what I had actually bought, along comes Mr. Helpful himself, Chaz. "Don't worry, Aunt Linda always gets a big tree, you'll get to look at hers." "No! no!" "That's STUPID!" Teds eyes welled up with tears.
Ahhhhhhhgggggg!
Another day in the life.
