Subject: RE: BS: Children's games with plants
Well I don't think this is a game exactly, but I had a good time playing. I don't think the kids did.

Two of our girls, Ashley and Brittney, were out back playing and when I went out I found they had ripped and torn through a patch of day lillies. It was senseless and a dumb thing to do, but kids are often senseless and dumb. So are a lot of adults come to think of it.

I confronted them with the evidence and after several stabs at explanations they settled on one as senseless and dumb as the act itself: "We thought they were onions and we could eat them."

Now neither of them would touch a raw onion on a bet but since they seemed so hungry for them we went inside and I had them sit at the kitchen table. I then chopped an onion in half and put each half on plate. I sad that since they were hungry for onions I was happy to fix them up! I then said, "You may not leave the table until you're done with your onions.........unless you decide you have something else to tell me."

It took about an hour.............
