My Wife Doesn't Listen To Michelle Obama Either

My wife calls herself a Democrat but when I suggested that she start growing a garden like Michelle Obama on our 8x7 balcony, she quickly came up with a list of excuses, which included, among others:

1) She doesn't want people to think she is growing pot (this is actually a valid excuse, our neighbors smoke pot and I think I heard them talking once about how much they love Obama).

2) She does her yoga on the balcony and doesn't want a garden to interfere with her downward facing dog.

3) Bridgette, our dog, would use it as a sand box.

I don't know, if you ask me these are all pretty lame excuses (except for #1) not to follow the counsel of the person you worship more than anything in the whole world. But, to be honest, I'm glad she's not growing an Obama garden because it's just the first step towards the real kind of garden that Michelle and her husband are trying to grow in the backyards of every home in America.
