Setting the scene: Came home from work Friday afternoon, opened the door to find.... another dead houseplant!
(Duh-duh-duh-duuuuuuuh - think creepy sound effects)
Thought process:
- Damn-it I killed another one!
- When did I last water it?
- Have I fertilized recently?
- Maybe the dirt is bad?
- Is there such a thing as bad dirt?
- It looked so healthy....
- Why do these plants keep dying on me?
- I think I watered everything Sunday...
- Why is my mom so good with plants and I am sooo bad - this is obviously not a genetic issue.
- Damn-it I can't blame this on my parents,
- How am I ever going to take over the Martha Stewart empire if I keep killing houseplants?
- Should I get rid of it before Will gets home?
- What should I get to replace it?
- Hmmmm.... maybe I should stick to cooking... I haven't killed anyone or anything with that yet!
