Repatriation
The scene: I’m at work, and Amanda and I are discussing Mom’s birthday present: specifically, a new garden out front. There is a patch of foxglove growing right against the porch that started growing randomly, and I want to save it.
Me: Hey, can those plants right against the porch stay?
Me: Because I really admire those guys.
Amanda: They’re going to be placed with their kind.
Me: But that was the problem.
Me: They LEFT their kind.
Me: And sprung up on their own.
Amanda: Well, it’s like Israel
Amanda: They’re going back
Happy early birthday, Mom.
