I was fixing some toys of my 5 year old and he asked me if he could watch the glue dry... I told him "son, that's like watching grass grow ๐Ÿ˜’"... his reaction, "really ๐Ÿ˜ฑ... can I go in the backyard?", me "yeah, sure, I guess ๐Ÿคฆ ๐Ÿ˜‚".

He's still there... sitting on the ground, watching... asking every 2 minutes if the grass is any taller ๐Ÿคฃ.

I just planted two trays of grass seeds for our guinea pigs.

While waiting for them to sprout over the last few days, I have been quite literally watching the grass grow.

When I saw the sprouts appeared this morning, it was much more exciting than I had been led to believe.
