Blue Kool-Aid

I came into the kitchen the other night to see Jeromy dumping my plant food down the drain. It was Miracle-Gro I had mixed with water in a pitcher to feed my plants with.

This is what happened from Jeromy's perspective. He came into the kitchen and saw a pitcher of blue Kool-aid. He was thirsty so he picked up the pitcher and haphazardly started chugging. He had about 3 big gulps before he realized, this tastes terrible! So he threw the remains down the drain.

I said "Why are you throwing that away?" He said, "Because it tastes terrible." Then I just started laughing. I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. At some point I got out the words to tell him it was plant food. He, of course was horrified. "What's in it?" he wanted to know. "I don't know probably Nitrogen, you breathe Nitrogen, it can't be that bad."

So we raced out to the garage to read the label. It did have nitrogen and some other trace compounds. It didn't have any poison symbols or contact poison control if ingested or any other warning. So we figured it couldn't be too dangerous. It did however have a number to call if you are not completely satisfied with the product . . . Jeromy said if he doesn't grow an inch, he's calling, he wants his money back!
