missy's been doing a little gardening lately. she bought a petite rose for 4€ and has been lovingly tending to it. it has a home in the space outside our windows where flowerboxes live. it's got a great view of the goings-on below.
all comic tropes come from somewhere, as all myths are based on truth. i took a lot of the humor i was raised on at face value, not having had the personal experience. i'll take their word for it that banana peels are slippery, guys carrying ladders are to be given a wide berth, and that french skunks are amorous.
but to lean out a third story window and look out onto a busy street, it's almost irresistable not to grab for the flowerpots.
