Sam scratched his head, dumbfounded. “Look at that!!! No way in hell I woulda believed it had I not seen it!”
“See? I told you!”
“Yeah, but seriously, Mark. How the hell did you do that?”
“Like I told you, all you have to do is plant ‘em at the right time of the year!”
“Stop it. You’re shitting me. I don’t know how you did it, but they did NOT grow up out of the ground like that.”
“I’m telling ya. I planted three Hot Wheels last spring.”
They walked away ~ Sam muttering under his breath; Mark smiling.

Dear Dale,
Better than Jack and the Beanstalk. Even though Sam knows Mark’s pulling his leg, I’m sure there’s a corner of his mind that’s saying, “What if?” Perhaps he’ll plant a hot wheels car of his own. 😉
Shalom,
Rochelle
