Two Lips

One morning while walking home from dropping Lexi off at school, Zachary picked something up off the ground and asked me what it was.  I recognized it immediately because it is the very sharp part of a tulip plant from a tulip tree.  They fall to the ground when the flower dries out, and when you step on them with bare feet, they hurt - something I did a lot growing up as we had these trees growing in our yard.  I said, "Zachary, that is a little piece of the flower of a tulip tree."  He looked up at the tree directly above us, thought about it for a second and said, "Mama, that is not a two lip tree, that is a one lip tree."
