…think he can move a rubber tree plant. I learned that song from Laverne & Shirley. My wife says I’m old for knowing the lyrics. I told her that men grew more distinguished with age. She laughed. Not a cruel, insulting laugh, mind you. No, she laughed the laughter of incredulity. Shocked that not only did I say such a thing but that I actually believed it. OK, maybe it was a little insulting
The rubber tree plant song came up because I decided I would draw her banana tree plant for tonight’s EDM challenge: Draw a tree or branch. We couldn’t decide if it was a banana *TREE* or a banana *PLANT*. That’s when I started singing the song, reminded her that trees ARE plants, and swore to hereafter refer to it as a “Banana Tree Plant.”
