Fake Plants Are Hard To Take Care Of

One time, I caught my ex watering one of her fake plants. I think she read an article about how millennials love houseplants, but didn’t realize people actually grew real ones. I asked her what happened to the water after she poured it in the pot, and she just said, “It goes right through.”

I tried to explain to her that fake plants don’t absorb any water, because they’re not alive. I don’t think she quite got it. Months after we broke up, she posted a picture of herself on Instagram, surrounded by a room full of plants. I hope she felt accomplished. Reddit user: SoBeefy
