I'm not trying to be mean, but if you know my Dad, you'll know that he hardly hangs out with his friends because all he does is work all-day long... and when he's not working, he "talks" to the plants at home. On the car, he was explaining the rationale behind looking after the plants; luck will come when the plants flower... yeah yeah.
