 Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee
Oh, wow. No licking the plants. Not a good idea. Frankly, that made sense, because so many plants that Phoebe had licked in her life had caused her tongue to swell. It was a pretty standard unspoken rule in the James household: don't lick things. Apparently that was a rule at school too. Bummer.
"I sincerely apologize, Professor Beryl. I thought that 'herb' always meant edible, but that's silly, because it smells like soap and perfume in here too, and drinking perfume is terrible." Personal experience here. But anyway. "I won't do it again." But she'd do other stuff. She always did. She'd try her darnedest not to, but things always happened.
She gave her brother a long look, sort of like... why was he saying SO many words? Was he nervous? Was he really excited about plants?
"I'm Phoebe James, ma'am." Tempting to say Phoebe Skylar-Rae-Branxton-James, to see if it got her two points back, but she wasn't gonna do that. "And my grandmother has a rose garden with these big lovely hedges, and she always says the important thing is not to put plant next to each other that don't get along. I always thought that meant they had to be friends, but now I think that some plants just grow better with each other and some harm each other." Sigh. Class fail.
