Was making breakfast this AM, as Mrs. Duck was messing with a bothersome houseplant. The following exchange was had:
Mrs: I don't like this plant any more.
Me: Um (mumbled acknowledgement).
Mrs: Every time I read up on it I get different info - loves water/needs to dry out. Loves sun, avoid prolonged sun exposure. I've tried everything, and it just seems really leggy and barely hangs in there.
Me: What kind of plant is it?
Mrs. A wandering jew.
Me: (Chuckling) Oy vey!
Mrs: (Stern, puzzled look) It's just too needy - it can enjoy the rest of it days in the compost heap (exits carrying plant).
Me: Uncontrollable laughter!
