Apparently, more and more millennials are considering themselves “Plant Parents.” It’s a new trend reviewed on the radio program I heard today. (By the way, the song on the radio when I entered the car was by “Panic at the Disco!” It has come to haunt me!)
In lieu of animals, these millennials parent plants. I guess they’re less demanding? They certainly have fewer needs and are less expensive than a pet or a child. They don’t sass you, tear up the furniture or shoes, scratch the heck out of the draperies, or need a sitter. And – the headline in the RMNews two days ago read, “Houseplants Become More Active as Days Get Longer.”
I’m thinking I need to emulate a houseplant – be less demanding and become more active. Who knew?
