Pop buys plant

Pop went to the farmers' market on Saturday for a dozen eggs and came home with a plant.

The plant is a pothos. It cost $12. According to Pop, the transaction took “about twenty-five minutes.”

“Nice lady,” Pop said. “Erica. She had the plants on a table with a sign about coaching. I asked how much for the green one, and she asked me what my five-year vision was.”

Pop does not have a five-year vision. He has a tomato table. When he explained this, the seller told him the tomato table was “root-bound,” which Pop took personally, and offered him something called a Clarity Call, which he declined because he already has a telephone.

He bought the plant anyway. Asked whether it was worth it, Pop said, “Best investment I've made in my business,” and then explained that the plant now sits on the tomato table, where it “makes the tomatoes look fancier.”

The eggs were sold out by the time he left.
