I dreamt I saw a host of golden...no, no, no, Mr. Wordsworth, not daffodils…DANDELIONS!


Why are dandelions considered worthless and daffodils considered sooooooo beautiful? Is it because dandelions are weeds and grow wild, but daffodils are cultivated and you have to pay for them?

The park in front of my house was strewn with the yellow dandelions popping up all over. I fell madly in love. My mouth watered. I wanted them in my garden. So I went to the “Have Everything” nursery.

I was greeted by the “host” of the nursery. “How can I help you?”

I lowered my eyes. I began to feel like I didn’t belong there.

.“I don’t think you can help me.”

“Of course I can help you. We sell everything!”

“Everything?”

“Everything!!!”

“Then do you sell dandelions?”

He looked at me paralyzed with disbelief.

“Of course not. Dandelions are not flowers. They’re weeds!”
