i've always liked dandelions. they're a nice color when they're new, and they look really cool when they become clocks (the wishing stage). so of course, i had to read the wikipedia article on them, right? apparently the name came from butchering the french "dent de lion," which means lion tooth (because of the zigzaggy leaves).also, in modern french, i guess they call a dandelion a pissenlit, which means urinate in bed. pretty appetizing, eh? they're supposedly thirty million years old, too. and they have lovely antioxidants! i still make wishes on dandelions. i make wishes on most things, except on 11:11. for some reason that seems stupider than other things, which i guess doesn't really make sense. but anyways, dandelions are one of my favorite parts of spring.
