Fine and Dandelion
Once upon a time in a flowery part of an abandoned lot, I reclined in a folding chair, conversing with a dandelion.
"I would like to eat you," I said. "I heard you are nutritious," I added.
"I'm a weed," said the dandelion sadly. "Don't look at me. Also, I'm highly poisonous due to growing in this plot of earth where battery acid spilled sixteen years ago."
I pulled off a section of its leaf and chewed heroically.
"Look," I said. "You're not a monster after all. I ate you and I'm just fine and dandy!"
We both had a good laugh at my joke although it was more of a nervous laughter since clearly the joke had not been funny at ALL. I raised that dandelion's self-esteem manifold but my great-great-great-grandchildren were born with numerous birth defects. I had to tell my secret to someone, but please don't let the dandelion's descendents know. It would break their fluffy little hearts.
