Things Grownups Do

(according to Teresa)

  • Put out balloons for birthday parties
  • Reach the sink1
  • Make a hole in the ground
  • Drink coffee
  • Make a happy face
  • Grow flowers
  • Pull out weeds
  • Eat sour plant2
  • Make honey water3

And that’s all.

2 Referring to wood sorrel, an edible plant common in Illinois. Also referred to by the under-5 crowd around here as “heart plant”, for the shape of its leaves. Actually, Teresa does her own share of eating it whenever she has a chance, so this list is apparently not exclusive to grown-ups.

3 I made her some this morning because her throat was crackly.

    I love this list SO MUCH! I’ve never heard this list before, but she does talk a lot about the logistics of party preparation with me. She asks a lot of questions about streamers.

    This is so cute. I’m constantly amazed as just how quickly the girls are growing!
