In the July 11 issue of the Times, I read the article
"Bashing, You Say? by mandyars.
Mandyars discovered that if you try too much to get into the big,
comfy, orange chair at the Newbie Center you get a "Sorry, you must be
invited to sit in that chair" message. But if you continue, you
will be told, "Too much gratuitous bashing. Sorry, chat has
stopped." This seemed hilarious to me.
Shortly after reading that article, I was over at Grandma's, trying to
help the "younger generation," as I call newbies. I decided to go and
sit in the orange pot filled with green foliage and red bulb-like
flowers. I noticed that Grandma said in her purple writing, "Please get
out of my geraniums!"
I thought this was just something she said
all the time, like in the winter when he says, "Now don't throw
snowballs at me!" But no one else was sitting in a pot of flowers like
I was, so I did it again a couple of times and she kept saying, "Please get
out of geraniums!"
So finally I got out of her geraniums. Can you imagine some little lady
in real life coming at you with a cane, saying, "Get out of my
geraniums!"
I respect Grandma and she helped me when I was young, so I got out of
the pot. That time. Usually these days, when I go to Grandma's, I sit
in the pot of geraniums, with Grandma squawking away at me.
I think this is rather amusing, like bashing a great orange
chair. It just shows you how much time our City Workers put into
making Whyville a great and interesting place.
So if you ever see Grandma say, "Please get out of my geraniums!"
you may look around to find dancer153 sitting in a pot of flowers.
*Going to sit my favorite pot of flowers.* (Better avoid Grandma's
cane!)

Note: I tried to send a picture of me "flower sitting," but my
e-mail program is not advanced enough yet to send a big picture.
If you can get a picture of you "flower sitting," can you please send
it to the Times Editor to go in the Gallery? Don't know how to take a
picture? Read Hermionez's article called "Are you Picture
Perfect?" to learn how.
