That kid handed you a whole new way of seeing things without even knowing it. Reminds me of when my nephew grabbed my old copy of Bone and just stared at it like it was treasure, then asked why I ever stopped reading them. Sometimes the small stuff kids say sticks with you way longer than it should.

ugh the balcony drying thing is so real lmao. I had the same problem with those skinny planters, felt like I was watering them morning and night and they still looked sad. Switched to bigger buckets last spring and my rosemary went from barely hanging on to a literal bush. It's crazy how much of a difference root depth makes, I swear the soil stays moist for days now compared to before.

That's what you get for booking a cruise without reading the fine print. Smokers got rights too, and the casino smell is part of the charm.
