Dear Sirs and Madams,
When purchasing items for your museum gift shops please consider placing a warning on products such as "buying your three year old child a Cherry blossom plant kit will cause undue stress because you need to SOAK the seeds for 24 hours before even considering planting them and then you need to put them in COLD STORAGE for 30 days in the fridge."
Please find enclosed with this letter, a USB stick that contains an audio file of the screaming that will ensue when I explain to said three year old that we need to have her seeds chill out before she can watch them grow. Please consider playing this audio file to all employees whose duties include buying new merchandise for the stores.
Thank you,
Spacemom
I know, I shouldn’t be laughing, but still, this made me smile.
Unintended side effects, huh?
Har. Sorry, but…har! Maybe you can make her a calendar that she can cross off the days before planting it? And then cross off the days before it should sprout?
Oh, this is hilarious! People just don’t think. LOL. Were you in DC on vacation or do you live in that area?
Good God, I think I would have gone ape shit too, if it said to wait 30 days!!
But, aren’t the trees gorgeous? Something I am missing this year being in Georgia.
