True or False...

Sort of true, but only school plays and only when they were compulsory (grades K-8). My talents didn't lend themselves to talent shows. :cool:

You have grandchildren's drawings hanging around your house.
 
(I would have figured that to be true of you, Sassy. I'm looking at several myself... they make me smile!)

True. Six children.

You lost a sibling before you were grown.
 
True, once. A beagle followed my father-in-law home (he lived with us) and he wanted to keep him. Big mistake. That dog kept running out the door every chance he got and was eventually hit by a car.

You have lots of house plants.
 
False. Only three. I'm not allowed to do anything with them except admire them. Preferably from afar. I don't argue the point - hubby has a green thumb - I'm more like the grim reaper. One touch from me and their days are numbered, usually in single digits.

Your mother tried to grow an avocado plant from a pit that was suspended over water by a few toothpicks.
 
True - I have a vague memory of her doing that - also sweet potatoes. I've had good success with avocados. I started one at work and it got to be a 10 foot tall tree. I used to put tinsel on it at Christmas time, but I had to leave it when I retired. It was so large, it wouldn't fit in my car. People promised they'd take care of it, but you know how that goes. I always wondered what happened to it. Where I worked has high security, so I can't just walk in there and check.

Another thing I had good luck starting was dates. I have 2 date palms - one I started at work I could bring home - it was supple enough to get in my car.

You like the sound of crickets chirping.
