The leaves on my bamboo plant in my bathroom keep slitting and drying out even though I've been giving it enough water and sunlight according to directions. It has been driving me crazy that I didn't know why. Then I have this conversation:
"Mommy, what is happening to the leaves on the plant?'
" I don't know but I'm trying like crazy to figure it out and help the poor thing survive."
Eyes go down, voice gets softer. "Mommy, sometimes when I'm mad at you for making me brush my teeth I break the leaves on the plant."
You know, vandalism never occurred to me but I did let him know I was disappointed for that action yet very happy about his honesty.
