Those Bloomin' Weeds

Bobby was sitting on the grass staring at something on the ground when his Dad, getting home from work, pulled into the driveway. He walked over to where Bobby was sitting, leaned over and asked, "What are you looking at son?"

Dad, Bobby asked, "Are weeds bad?"

"I hope not son because we are kind of like weeds," his Dad replied with a hint of a smile.

"Dad we are not like weeds. This weed I'm looking at has small purple flowers. You can hardly see them. I would have missed them completely if I hadn't dropped my cookie. I saw it when I bent over to pick it up."

"Bobby, weeds aren't bad. In fact they are strong, resilient plants. Almost anywhere the seeds land they can grow and bloom."

"Ok, Dad, tell me how are we like weeds?"

"Well Bobby, we have moved 3 times in eight years because of my job and each time we put down new roots, make new friends, you go to another school and we learn to enjoy our new hometown. That makes us resilient like a weed."

"Hahaha! That's funny Dad. Wait 'till I tell Mom she's a weed!"
