From the monthly archives:
While I was weeding…
Grace, curiously- “What on earth is that?”
Jaron, matter-of-factly- “It’s probably rabbit poop.”
Liberty, casually- “Oh, it’s good.”
Grace, incredulously- “You’ve tried it?!?!”
Me- “Please do not eat rabbit poop.”
Liberty- “I meant for the plants…”
Grace- “Ooooh. yeah, right, it’s good for the plants.”
I’m really glad we cleared that up, because I gag at the thought of [...]
