Her Care For You Is Not The Bee’s Knees
(I live with my very ill mum, and have always done so. Recently my aunt and uncle (her sister and brother-in-law) have been coming over to help sort out the garden. It’s been a week and there are a few bits left over.)
Aunt: “Is there anything else you need done?”
Mum: *thoughtfully* “Well… I should probably remove the lavender.”
Aunt: “Why remove it? I can just cut it back for you.”
Mum: “Yeah, but [My Name] is allergic.”
Aunt: “Why do you have it, then?!”
Mum: “The bees like it.”
(Added bonus: the bushes were planted after we found out I was allergic…)
