"Mom," my daughter said. "I saved a tree!"
"You saved a tree?" I asked. "How did you do that?"
"I put it in a pot."
"That's a good trick," I said. "Did it fit?"
"Yeah, it's just a baby. Look." She walked me over to a pot that was sitting on the kitchen counter. Inside was a young pine tree. Under the whole thing was a sign: Evelyn.
"This is Evelyn the tree?"
"Yeah. Isn't she cute? Daddy was going to run her over with the lawnmower, and I saved her life. Can we keep her?"
"Yes we keep her, but she has to go back outside in the spring."
So now ladies and gentlemen, we have a new pet in the house: a tree named Evelyn.
Like a pet rock :)
ReplyDeleteYeah. That's what I like about it. Not much work required!
Deletehope it grows big and strong! sounds kind of fun!
ReplyDeleteWe'll see what happens. So far so good.
DeleteI had an aunt named Evelyn. I wish she had been a tree.
ReplyDeleteEven more, I wish she had made like a tree and leaved.
Love,
Janie
Haha! Too funny!
DeleteThat's so sweet! Just think, it'll make less noise and mess than a traditional pet. :) She's a smart girl.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I like about it!
DeleteA very good habit for the little one. And adorable too!
ReplyDeleteNow she has to look after it.
Nas
We'll see exactly how long she takes care of it. I have a feeling it's going to be another pet I have to take care of. LOL!
DeleteThis is so sweet. What's great about this pet is it'll never get very messy...only big. (:
ReplyDeleteBig. Yes! So it will definitely have to go outside!
DeleteThis is a sweet story. Your daughter seems very caring.
ReplyDeleteShe has a great heart!
DeleteLet's hope no other pets think Evelyn is a waste basket and decide to mark her haha
ReplyDeleteHaha! I don't think Schultz can reach as high as the counter (I hope.)
DeleteThat pet is much better than many others she could bring from outdoors. You are raising an arborist! Too cool.
ReplyDeleteI think so, too. It's good to care about nature.
DeleteLove it! A tree named Evelyn - so poetic!
ReplyDeleteI wonder where she came up with the name. I thought it was rather pretty, too.
DeletePicture please! Oh ... Evelyn that is :0-)
ReplyDeleteLOL! All right people, I'll see if I can post a picture.
DeleteYes, I'd love to see a pic of Evelyn too! :)
ReplyDeleteI just snapped one. I'll see if I can get it posted.
DeleteThat is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree!
DeleteI thought so, too!
ReplyDeleteHow cute!
