The Silent Cactus Tango

My brother has a cactus. Just one tiny cactus, in a pot, on the window, behind the sink, alone. It was in his house when he bought it. Perhaps the previous cactus owners wanted to give him a chance at a new life rather than put him to sleep. The cactus is left completely alone, as he does not need water to perform his cactus role. My brother also has a baby, who is the most totally rad baby I have ever met. I visit frequently to hang out with said baby and give the baby creators a break. About two months ago, I noticed that at around 4:00 the cactus is no longer in direct sunlight. I have no idea if cacti need sunlight to survive, but regardless it seemed polite at the time to move him a few inches to the left for optimal sunlight intake. I return another day, and find that Prïckles Vinny has been pushed into the corner once again. I slide him back a little. He deserves some space. Returning once more, Prïckles Vinny is now on the other side of the window, in the opposite corner. I recognized this as some weird kind of chess. The rules of this game being undefined, I push Prïckles Vinny out of the corner just a few inches, and eagerly awaited my opponents move. The Baby Creators have a lot of guests that visit regularly, so I have no idea who I am playing cactus chess with, but I think I’m winning. I remain adamant, scooting that little dude out of the corner every visit for weeks, until one day I discover a yellow post-it note on the bottom of the pot. [i]”Who is moving the cactus?”[/i] This note was clearly written by my sister-in-law. Perfect opportunity for me to demonstrate one of my lesser-known talents; FORGERY In handwriting identical to my brothers, I reply: [i]”I am a sentient cactus. I crave the warmth of the sun you continue to deny me.” [/i] Again, I have no idea if cacti need sunlight, but desert logic I guess. My next visit the post-it was gone, and Prïckles Vinny was positioned in the very center of the window. Triumph. I rest easy knowing this cactus receives the respect he has not earned, but deserves by principle. Neither Creator has mentioned the game of cactus control, though I can only assume my brother was blamed and plead insanity, or my sister-in-law made no mention of the joke. Or maybe she believes Prïckles Vinny really is a sentient cactus.
