We have the largest pine tree in our neighborhood. It’s at least 3 feet in diameter and twice as tall as our house. It makes a huge noise when the wind whips through its branches, and the pine cones rain down everywhere. It’s the pine cones that are the problem.
Mom –“Don’t touch the pine cones. There’s sticky sap on them.” This was not fair of Mama…all those tempting pine cones..Hand sanitizer is the best defense against sap. Just rub a big glob of it on the sap-encrusted foot or hand and voila, sap free…
Mom – “Don’t throw the pine cones at the deer.” There’s a nursing home behind our home and their deer pen is behind our shed.
Mom – “Don’t throw pine cones at the house.”
Mom – “Don’t throw pine cones at the cars.”
Mom –“Don’t throw pine cones at each other.”
Kids –“What can we throw the pine cones at?”
Kids—“Ahhhh! Sap! I need tizer, please!”
Kids—“See how far I can throw this pine cone, isn’t it AMAZING?”
Kids—“Mom, watch me twist this pine cone in half!”
Kids—“Look, I can draw with chalk on the pine cone.”
Kids—“Sorry Mom, I didn’t mean to hit you. You moved at the wrong time.”
Mom—“Let’s pick up ALL the pine cones and throw them away.”
Kids—“bummer.”
