Planting the seeds

Paul and I were walking along yesterday. He was eating one of those halloween-sized mini boxes of nerds candy. He was eating them one at a time, savoring them. Every minute or two, he'd stop, bend down and then stand up again. After he'd done this 5 or 6 times, and I couldn't figure out what he was doing, I asked him. "Why do you keep stopping? What are you doing?"

His answer? "Planting these Nerd seeds, Mommy! So they can grow Nerd trees here, of course."

Of course. Silly me for not figuring that out in the first place!
