“Buddy, remember back on April 23rd when Mom planted the tiny plants? Look how much bigger they got in just one month!

“Wow, Crosby! So Mom doesn’t have a brown thumb, like Dad says?”

“No, Buddy, Mom has a green thumb! That means she is successful in the garden growing things. Just look how pretty the cannas are now, and look at the little green tomatoes on the plants – before there were none. “

“Remember last month how Mom’s roses were just green leaves? Well, look at them now!!”

“WOW!! No wonder her name is Rosie!! I can’t wait to compare them again next month!”
