I like to think they know to keep their hands off gardens, but they do wave their light sabers (read: savers) as people drive down the street yelling out invectives about Darth Maul (from a little movie they call the Fanta Menace), Darth Vader (read: Fader) and the force. I guess that is probably rude. But I know they wouldn't mess with the flowers.Science Teacher Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16579558647324072199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13684790.post-56169602655983034992008-05-08T16:32:00.000-06:002008-05-08T16:32:00.000-06:00My neighbor kids killed my second attempt of havin...My neighbor kids killed my second attempt of having a horse chestnut tree in my yard.
