I went back to my old place to clear the weeds that have been growing at the front of my condo so that the front will look nice for the coming open house. Before long, my old neighbor came by to where I was weeding and started instructing where I should weed. She then made a remark that her perennial plant that was growing at that spot in the garden is now gone and that someone must have stolen it. She then alluded that other neightbors may have come and stole the plant. I always avoid communicating with my old neighbor as much as possible but I felt compelled to come back with a strong and logical rebuttal to her statement. And I said: "Why would someone come and steal your plant that is firmly planted on the ground?" She tried to refute my response, but each time I gave that logical, unwavering, and stern sounding rebuttal: "Why would someone come and steal your plant that is firmly planted on the ground?" She finally gave up and went back to her house. At last, some peace and quiet. In the back of my mind, somehow I am not surprised if I was once an unsuspected victim of such pejorative remark.
