An email conversation with my sister, after she saw yesterday’s plant killer post.



HER: That was a sad little succulent. Try sansiviera, or mother-in-law’s tongue. Also cool looking, can’t kill – I had one in college when I had the attic room, never watered it – still alive nine months later. I have several now that I’ve had for years.

ME: I’ll send you a picture of the one I killed.

HER: That’s really not possible.

ME: Want to bet??
