[Den]

What happened was that I had my pet air plant, Bob, soaking in a cup of water on the counter, which I did every few days because that seemed to work best. Dad came home, saw the cup on the counter, thought it was just holding water, and dumped the whole thing down the drain. I came upstairs to bring something to the kitchen, and to get Bob out of the water and the excess dried off so I could put him back in his wine glass home, and the cup was empty. I asked Dad where my plant was, and he got this "Oh, crap" look on his face as he realized what he'd done.
