how does YOUR garden grow?

cosmo is helping me in the garden. we were getting ready to sow some seeds in a salad box, and i was listing what we might plant. the conversation went something like this--

me: spinach...
cosmo: spinatch...
me: lettuce...
cosmo: lettut...
me: maybe some onions?
cosmo: maybe so'onons?
me: and...what else should we plant?
cosmo: coyotes...

he said it like it was part of the list, with the same intonation, as if it were just another seed to plant. i started cracking up, and couldn't imagine how he'd come up with that. he must have overheard carl and i joking around earlier about using coyote piss to scare off rabbits...

Plant some coyotes for me, please?! In a medium size salad box? I won't have to spend so much on my weekly bottle of coyote piss that way. So many rabbits around, in life, as you know. Love, nahal

funny, funny. if growing coyotes works out, though, let me know. you never know when a pack would come in handy.
