The pickle tree


The other night Payton and I were talking while she was getting settled into bed for the night.
Payton: "When we were going to plant the garden?"
Dad: "Tomorrow we are going to start planting the garden."
Payton: "I can't wait to grow some pickles"
Dad: "You mean cucumbers...cucumbers are what we grow and then they get turned into pickles."
Payton: "No dad, I want to grow a pickle tree...that would be awesome!"
Dad: "Well - cucumbers actually grow on the ground."
Payton: "Well, I am going to plant a pickle tree."
Dad: "Sounds great. Good night."

So naturally, being an Enginerd...I just had to see if there was something called a pickle tree. Voila. For $3.99 it may just be worth setting a 4 year-old's imagination on fire!
