Mom? I got some bad news for you.

See, I've been rolling in the garden a lot. I've squished some of the pepper plants and they aren't growing so well anymore.

I couldn't help myself. They were too
irresistible.

Um, and then I discovered something else. You know the red pepper plant you bought? It's green. It will not be turning red. Ever.

And the pretty yellow pepper plant you wanted? Yeah, well. You guessed it. Green.

I think someone switched up the tags at the garden center. Next year...seeds.

So are you going to break the news to
Jonesie?
