A conversation I had yesterday with my 7 year-old after clipping her fingernails and toenails and she had gathered them all into her hands.
7 year-old: Mom, do you know what I am going to do with these (fingernails and toenails)?
Mom: Um. Collect them in a jar?
7 year-old: Nope! I'm going to plant them!
Mom: Really? What do you think will grow?
7 year-old: I'm not sure.
Mom: Hmmm. Would be interesting to see what grows. Well, there are some great spots for planting out back.
7 year-old: Thanks, Mom!
Today, the conversation continued.
Mom: Well, did you plant your fingernails and toenails?
7 year-old: Yup! Out back in the dirt where that little stick tree is sticking out.
Mom: And what do you think will grow?
7 year-old: A tree with fingernails and toenails.
I am almost tempted to plant some seeds there...tee hee!

Haahaha!!! Can I plant a tomato plant there? She'll be stumped for quite a while! :)
That would be funny...I wonder what she would plant next to see what would sprout.
