One Thousand Words

I slipped into the office to check my email quickly and a sudden hush outside told me that Niko was probably Up To No Good, something that toddlers EXCEL at. So I made a little cuss and went outside to see if he’d spread flour all over the floor AGAIN. It turned out that he wasn’t in the kitchen at all. He was in the dining room, and it looked like he had a box of fancy chocolates.

Huh.

Where the hell did he get THAT? How did we have fancy chocolates in the house without me knowing?

Why are those fancy chocolates all round?

Because they were dried out peat discs!

HAH!

Niko reported that they were “icky” and “not chock-o-late!” and “duuuuuuurty” and I told him we could play with them after he took a nap. I think I have some oregano seeds someplace. We can soak the discs and then plant the seeds and see if anything sprouts. Is fall a poor time to start seedlings? Probably yes! But what the hell, right?

What the hell indeed.
