February 6, 2023: Garden Planning

Noah is sitting at the table with a large number of seed packets spread out in front of him. Ursula comes up and asks, "Whatcha doing, Daddy?" Noah replies, "Sorting through my seeds. It's time to get started on this year's garden. I already started lettuce and radishes in the cold frame. And leeks, and garlic outside." He then smiles and asks, "What are you gonna grow this year?" Irked, Ursula retorts, "Uh... nothing. The garden is your job." Noah is annoyed and says, "No, I think it's time you participated a bit more. So... what do you want to grow?" Ursula rolls her eyes and says, "Ugh... Fine. Do gummy bears grow on trees?" Noah says, "If you want apple or cherry-flavored, then yes, pretty much."

 

Apparently Ursula doesn’t know that gummy bears are just made from fruit juice, so some grow on trees, some grow on bushes, some grow on vines, and some grow on little green plants.

Hrefna is enraged and tells Noah, "I will speak to Odin on your behalf, boy." Noah replies, "Thanks, Ma, but—" and Hrefna interrupts him, continuing with her fists raised in the air, "Odin will send his ravens to pluck the flesh from their bones!" Noah again tries to get a word in edgewise, saying, "OK, Ma, but—" and again Hrefna interrupts to continue hollering, her eyes bulging with rage, "He will enact a terrible blood vengeance upon the fraudsters!" Noah replies, "Right, Ma, but—" and Hrefna again interrupts him and proclaims, "The wolves and raptors will feast upon their entrails!" Finally Noah is able to speak his piece, face in his hands: "I appreciate that, Ma, but all I really want is a human to answer the phone and help me dispute the fraudulent charges." Hrefna pauses, then replies, "Hmm... our Norse forebears didn't really have a god of customer service, boy... I suppose you could petition Freyr?"February 10, 2023: Vengeance
