Have you ever played with the mimosa when you were younger? If you have, you must remember how fun it was to watch the leaves droop as soon as they’re touched.
We found some mimosa weeds growing at the football field and introduced them to the boy. And he actually combed the entire field to amuse himself with the sensitive weeds.
Sure these weeds are not pretty but I think they are a source of great entertainment to a child. Even I still like playing with them.
I remember those..
it was fun..
