The Unbearable Joy Of Gardening, It Could Be Worse...
The unbearable joy of gardening, it could be worse...
So I was getting some serious gardening done today with my brother. I don’t think there are any people who have less knowledge of plants than we do (he once managed to mould cacti, I always withered them...). So we were clearing of weeds from the herb bed, each time we found something that was not obviously grass we asked: ‘What is this? Do you know this? Is it a flower? Is it some herbal-thingy? Can you eat it? Or can I just throw it away because it’s some weeds?’ Each time the answer was: ‘I have no idea. Probably weeds. It has no blossom so...just throw it away.’ (I have a feeling we threw away way more than what was neccessary)
Then the thing happened that was bound to happen: I had an unpleasant encounter. With an earthworm. (I honestly have no problem with bugs or spiders and everything else thats crawling around but these squidgy worms or slugs....uäääääh. Don’t need to have them anywhere near me tbh) And I was like: ‘Yikes. That’s disgusting!’ And my brother just relpied: ‘Could be worse, couldn’t it? Could be a slug’ Me: ‘Yeah... still nauseating, though...’ Brother: ‘That’s probably what the earthworm is thinking too.’ Me (used to such ‘compliments’ from his side): Well, thank you... Brother (totally ignoring me): ‘It’s probably thinking: ‘Ew, human! But it could be worse. That human could be a bird or something...’

James: You're our princess in shining armour. Defeat the monster and save us.
Cleo: *sighs* And there I was, presuming that making friends with blokes would spare me from terrified shrieking about tiny spiders...oh, how naïve.
Sirius being Sirius
Sirius: I haven't told you yet, why I ran away from my family this summer...
Y/N: So why did you run away?
Sirius: Because my parents decided that you and I are supposed to get married.
Y/N: *piqued* So you broke with your family because you don't want to marry me?
Sirius: No.
Y/N:
Sirius: I broke with my family because I don't want you to be forced into something our parents would consider an advantageous marriage. I want you to have the chance to marry the man that you love, the man that YOU want to marry.
Y/N:
Sirius:
Y/N: You're lying. Whithout batting an eye!
Sirius:
Y/N: It's because YOU don't want to be forced into an arranged marriage. YOU want to have the chance to marry the person that you truly love. You selfish little prat!
Sirius: Well, uhm...you're my best friend and I love you? *smiles innocently*
Y/N:
Sirius:
Y/N: It's Remus, isn't it?
Sirius: WOAH! Hold your horses!
Y/N: *stares at Sirius without blinking*

Sirius: *blinks and looks away*
Y/N: *smirkes* I knew it!
