Are you a lifelong learner?

Daily Writing Prompt – 2820

 

Absolutely, I’m a lifelong learner. My latest discovery and hobby, which I previously hadn’t the faintest clue about, is gardening. We all remember the year 2020. The virus appeared out of nowhere and started turning people into zombies, toilet paper became currency, and none of us could leave the house. That was exactly when it hit me. I wanted to start a vegetable garden!

The first thing I did was march confidently into the house to negotiate with my wife. Those were not easy talks. My wife firmly announced that I absolutely could not grow vegetables because I am bald! Yes, that was her absolutely indisputable argument. Despite my begging, the discussion constantly revolved around a dark scenario where I get heatstroke, die on the veggie patches, and force my family to dismember and bury my corpse right there in that newly created garden.

That’s when I learned a very valuable lesson. Exposing yourself to the sun without protection is not healthy — even if the neighbors’ cats strongly disagree with that theory. I learn something new every day, and with a hat on my head, I’m still growing vegetables to this day!
