What a Sweetie, Potato That Is

How did it know?

I had a teeny sweet potato from my planter box.

Nothing much to talk about, too small to cook.

So I poked it with toothpicks

and set it in water beneath 

a lamp on the kitchen counter.

After awhile the water began to smell pretty bad.

I started to change it more frequently.

Nothing happened.

Today I started to throw it out.

Suddenly it had sprouts.

It had leaves!

I guess sometimes you just have 

to push those little sweeties

to get them to do anything!

I think I'll set it over with the other plants 

by the sunny window.  

I guess I'll have vines all over the place pretty soon!
