A Cactus for your Friday

I actually really like cacti. Mostly because I suck at growing things.
I have two very detailed memories of my kindergarten class. The first was when we learned to chew gum properly. The second was when we planted bean sprouts for science. My classmates and I were instructed to created a deep thumbprint in the dirt, put our sprout seeds in the thumbprint, cover with dirt, and water a little bit every day. While everyone else's bean sprouts eventually poked their little sprout-y heads out of the dirt, mine did nothing. So when we took our sprouts home, everyone had baby vegetation, and I had a pot of dirt.
Therefore, I really like cacti. I've had three, and I've only killed one (to my credit, I left it alone for a month when I went to China, so if I was there, maybe it wouldn't have died). My policy is that if you can easily kill it, don't raise it. Leave it to the zoo or something and take pictures. The only exception to this rule is human babies. You can't find them in zoos. So just be extra careful when you're raising those.
But anyways, here's a cactus for your Friday. The first of many (hopefully).
