  • Mevrou pluk plesier uit plastiek plante
    Die lente is hier en Mevrou meen daar is geen meer verskoning vir ’n huis sonder groen plante nie, selfs as van dié plastiek is. Die Mevrouens bieg dat hulle nou kunsmatige plante in potte het regoor die huis. Ja, dit voel nie reg nie, maar wat moet mens doen as jy nie groen vingers het nie?
