i have a confession to make -
i love dandelions. i love seeing grass filled with those pretty, little, yellow flowers.
yes i know. they are weeds. but i love them just the same. i am guessing it's either the color combination that gets me or the novelty of seeing them in abundance here.
and i have to admit that i love receiving them from my kids as well. everytime i pick my kids up from school, i am met with a dandelion that they carefully handpicked for me. and while others would merely toss them aside, the dandelions that they handpicked for me gets displayed in their "own spot" until they wilt away.
one time, my daughter had a "eureka" expression on her face as she excitedly shared with me her new discovery. "mom! now i know why i see some bees in our school... because there are lots of sunflowers!"
when i told her that they are not sunflowers, she had a puzzled look on her face. "but mom, all my classmates call them sunflowers."
at this point, i had to decide very quickly whether to pop her balloon or not. there is something about kids and their delight for all things simple that make me hesitate to bring her back to earth.
so while i had to correct her and tell her that those are dandelions, i couldn't break her heart and tell her that they are actually weeds. she will eventually find out. but for now... i will let her enjoy this pretty, little, yellow flowers.
