Dear Grandparents: the avocado pit

Dear Poppy:

For some reason when I think of you I think of avocado pits set over some water to root.  For some reason, you and such a plant are rooted together in my mind.  I know you did that occasionally.  I have no idea if you ever got an actual plant or tree out of the deal, but when I think of you, a rooting avocado plant is never far from my mind.  Strange.

Hugs!
