A short lesson in horticulture

Image - Mine







Scene: Interior Basement office. Day

The office door opens and a female student enters. She walks to the counter and looks at our vase of flowers. The student turns to my colleague.

Student: why have you got asparagus in a jar?

Colleague: [pause] they’re daffodils.

So apparently, these two, completely separate items, are one and the same.

  1. Seriously, asparagus? What are they teaching kids these days?
