I don't mean to be inappropriate in any way, but this is not the first time that her brother Von has prompted romantic thoughts in Vera (albeit they have always been about Drew; it's just Von shows up and Vera's thought balloons start getting all hot and bothered). This is getting a lot of discussion on the tawdry Internets, and I'm not going to make a big deal about it because this blog tries to remain rated PG at worst. I just wish the authors would steer clear of this association because it is CREEPING. ME. OUT!
I think the common name of the reeds is "Foxtail."
ReplyDeleteAhah! I knee you were wrong, WH. But you reminded me: Cattails. I wanted to call them Pussy Willow, but I knew that was wrong, too. In my mind they had something to do with cats, and you jarred my memory. A quick Google search confirmed it. Thanks! It was really bugging me.
