Relationships and robust plants

“I killed the plant…(Crying). I killed the plant. It’s ok you still have your dog. I don’t even think he likes me…(crying) (sniff)”

A really funny and oddly sweet scene from the movie 28 days.

Early on in the movie,  Sandra Bullock asks the question how you know whether you are fit for a relationship. The response to her question is classic. To know if you fit for a relationship, you get a plant. If you keep the plant alive for six months, you get a dog. If the dog survives you for six months, you might be ready for a relationship. Or something along those lines!

I think this piece of advice makes perfect sense. Commitment training in baby steps…

To date I haven’t kept a plant alive for six months. The dogs are looking happy, they live with caretakers ;-) It’s no secret that I love being single and that I’d only budge for an extraordinary man ;-) I always like referencing the above mentioned story when guys hit on me – my warning sign for them to be weary.

Today with much amusement and a great deal of laughter I received a Bonsai with the words “I hear this type is robust”. How sharp and utterly hilarious!

I’m sure to put it to the test.

    the bonsai may be “robust” but it’s full of shit and requires plenty attention (just like most males).
