Polly put the kettle on

My dear son,

Yesterday you didn't water the plants with your usual tumbler.
You asked for my favorite teapot instead.
Why?
Because you wanted to sing "polly put the kettle on" and "i'm a little teapot" while watering all the 31 plants in the two balconies.
It was quite nice for the first half hour. After that it was slightly boring.
We missed listening to your version of "mary mary quite contrary how does your garden grow."
i think the plants missed it too. they didn't look so cheerful.



So please give me back my teapot and get back to singing mary mary while you nurture the plants at 6 am everyday. By the way you might want to rethink the early hour. Maybe the plants need some more sleep? Especially on the weekends you know...

Your loving mom
