9. OMG let me finish the story:
"OK, now I want you to pretend that our house and our yard is the > United > States of America and you are President Bush."

Our son giggled and said "OK."

He looked perplexed for a moment, then said "I get it, Dad! The goddam bush never moves! It just waves in the wind--and every year the same ugly poisonous branches shoot out bigger and bigger as it strangles everything in the yard! And, Dad, the roots are causing our homes' foundation to crumble."

I smiled and ruffled his hair, as we ambled to the shed for a gallon bucket of Roundup.

I am truly blessed.
