Weed all about it

oy three-year-old daughter and I were out in the garden pulling a few weeds and enjoying the sun. I yanked out a Californian thistle and threw it onto the lawn. My daughter looked at me for a moment and asked, “Why did you pull that one out, oum?” I replied that if I didn’t, they would go everywhere and make a real mess in my garden. She looked at the thistle then squinted up at me and said, “Well, it’s not going anywhere now is it?”
