A Little Surprise (That Devastated Me)
I barely lived through the move. Most things were fine–but after all of my husband’s stunts, otherwise known as “great ideas” during the move, I can barely utter two words without cursing.
So, we are so exited that our new apartment has a yard! By “yard,” I mean big area full of hard dirt and ugly weeds and poorly cemented, crooked bricks. Yes, it is pathetic and does reflect how lowly we truly are, but we are super excited!!!!
I thought we were excited for the same reasons. I’m totally counting the minutes until I can plant grass with my 5 year old son. In school he learned about seeds, and it’s ALL he talks about. “Mom, let’s plant apple seeds.” And “Mom, let’s plant these orange seeds. Mom, let’s buy an avacado and plant the biggest seed in the world.” So, every day for a week, I kept talking about how I couldn’t wait to plant grass.
One evening, my husband calls and says, “You are going to be so happy.” I was so excited–what? Why am I going to be happy? Please TELL ME!!!”
People, he takes us out back, and there lies a huge roll of brand new ASTRO TURF (fake carpet that looks like ugly plastic grass) . AND, it cost $100. I cried for an hour.
