Ever since Megan moved in, she has talked about how she wants to grow vegetables in our yard. She has read books about what will grow best here, when to plant what, and has made lists of things she'll need. Yesterday we went and picked up various types of dirt. We dug a little 4' x 4' section of the yard (pictured above) with plenty of sunlight so that she'll be ready to plant stuff.As many of you know, I'm not a big vegetable fan. I wish I was. I asked her what she was planning on growing.
Megan: Well, there'll be tomatoes, squash, peas, onions, garlic, various herbs, etc.
Me: (Sarcastically) Ooo, all my favorites!
Megan: Oh yeah? Well, what do you want me to grow?
Me: I don't know. How about frozen pizza? Hamburgers? Ice Cream Sandwiches?
Megan: Sigh.
You see, what makes this exchange humorous is that neither frozen pizza, hamburgers, nor ice cream sandwiches can be planted and grown. It's just not possible. It is ridiculous to even suggest such a thing. There's no such thing as a frozen pizza seed or a hamburger tree. And how the hell would someone grow ice cream sandwiches? They need to be kept in a freezer or else they melt all over the place! It's just not feasible. That's why it's so funny.
