Ungame Sunday
Do you remember The Ungame? No, of course you don't, because your family wasn't cool like mine. The Ungame was this fabulous 70's board game that focused on self-reflection and self-expression.
I will now start making you people work for me. Sundays are going to be Ungame day. Please answer the following question, taking time to really reflect on the answer and express yourself as best as you can. If it helps, take a hit off your bong and play The Doors softly in the background.
If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be and why?

Why the Kentucky Coffeetree of course. "This tree is bothered little by heat, cold, drought, insects, disease, road salt, ice, and alkaline soil." While a barely passable coffee can be made from the bean of the fruit, it also contains the toxin cytisine. Naval prowess saved us from a coffee death.
ReplyDeleteAnd there's one right down the road from us in the Tyler Arboretum.
ok so im torn, cherry blossom tree because it is the first to bloom in spring therefore getting attention, praise and affection for said fact (outside of the obvious "first" plus and the opportuinity to say to other trees "oh I have been out here blooming and looking pretty awhile .. . what took you so long?")
ReplyDeleteand the christmas tree that gets dressup up, lit up, fussed over, gets to be the bearer of gifts, wear a pretty skirt, gets a gold star . . .but can't make myself choose something that gets tossed . . . oh well
Melissa and ELew have nailed the perfect trees for themselves. Couple of freaks.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to include my answer on this one, which has always been the weeping willow.
I love that they offer the perfect place to hide; a place where you can still see the world through drooping leaves, while remaining fairly hidden. Plus, their roots are amazingly large and tough.
And the salicylic acid contained in their bark, eventually helped create aspirin, the universal healer.
They are mysterious and yet comforting. Pretty on the outside, but underneath their roots are actually stopping the power of water.
That's my tree.
