Is My Plant Secretly Judging Me? A Deep Dive into the Psyche of My Peace Lily
The Side-Eye Was My First Clue
It all started with a feeling. You know, that prickly sensation you get when you think someone’s watching you? Well, picture me, two weeks into quarantine, wearing the same sweatpants I’d been rocking for three days straight, and BAM—I swear I caught my peace lily, Phil, giving me the side-eye.
Okay, maybe “side-eye” is a stretch for a plant. But trust me, the way he tilted his leaves—it was definitely judgment. I mean, who was he to judge? He hasn’t moved an inch in months!
So, naturally, Phil staged a dramatic wilting performance. I’m talking leaves drooping lower than my motivation to do laundry. Of course, I rushed to his rescue, showering him with apologies and enough water to last a desert cactus through a drought. He perked up eventually, but I swear I saw a lingering “I told you so” vibe emanating from his pot.
