Me: “I’ve got a huge thistle growing in the lawn!”
Mother: “Just cut it off at the stem, and use some weedkiller.”
Me: “But the weedkiller won’t work without the leaves.”
Mother: “Oh, okay. Wait, do you have a drill?”
Me: “Ye-e-es.”
Mother: “So, drill into the stem, and pour some Jayes Fluid into the hole.”
Me: “And then sit and wait for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Plants to come knocking…”
Mother: “Use a silencer on the drill, and nobody’ll know.”
Yes, I love it when a plan comes together.
