“What
are those big round things hanging off the trees?”
I
looked up. The big round things he was referring to was the parasitic plant
mistletoe. It had completely infested the trees in this area.
Oh God he would
ask that… “You
really don’t know?” I hedged.
He
looked at me completely nonplussed. “Uh, no.” he said, as if I was completely
nuts. “That’s why I asked.”
I
nodded. Of course… city boy… “Um, it’s
mistletoe.” I mumbled feeling mortally embarrassed.
He
nodded, his lips twitched then he raised an eyebrow, an impish grin on his
face, “Really?” He asked. “Well, wouldn’t you know it?” he looked back up, “And
we’re stood right beneath it.”
