I pulled up all the grass in our front yard this spring. That’s a small task since the yard is about large enough to bury two people comfortably (or, as my mother used to describe the capacity of a friend’s cabin cruiser: sleeps 4, fucks 8). I then sprinkled “meadow mix” and waited for my garden to bloom. But, the only plant I recognize is crab grass, which I have been dutifully pullling. Otherwise, I can’t tell a weed from a flower, so it’s all a-growing.

In 50 words or less, please apply this to:

a) The Web
b) Being a parent
c) The endocrine system
d) Something of your own choosing

For extra credit: Must any metaphor be capable of describing disparate phenomena? In general? In this case?
