And the answer is, “Because they know stuff.” There is no innocence left anymore. Matter of fact, I think I’m probably more innocent than they are.
My tomato plants & cucumber plants have completely taken over my little garden. Today I went out back to pick a few tomatoes & cucumbers. Oh, wait. Before going back there, I have to cover my entire body with bug spray. I have no idea what the heck kinds of bugs are out there but I get bitten up like I’m a freaking steak bone thrown to a dog every time I walk near my crops.
Anyway, after dousing myself with insect poison, I went back there, picking stuff. I found THE hugest cucumber I ever saw in my life. It had to be about 3 feet. Okay, fine. Maybe not exactly 3 feet. It was more like 14″.
When darling daughter came home from the beach with her friends, I greeted them at the door, holding my cucumber. My little innocent (not!) child looked at it, raised her eyebrows and said something like yep, that sure is a huge cucumber.
She then took my picture with it. Which she then emailed to her brother. I think she plans on putting it on Facebook and I’m glad I am not on Facebook because I don’t even want to know.
And because I know you will all find this amusing and it is, after all, my job to amuse you, here is the photo:
Oh the things I do to keep my blog fans amused….
