Quote: Gregory and Martin Eddie, Barbara Howard and Jacob Hill (Abbott Elementary)

Gregory: Dad, these are my coworkers, Jacob and Barbara.

Barbara: Mr. Eddie, wonderful to meet you. The caretakers of the flourishing Abbott Elementary Garden welcome you.

Martin: I could have sworn I saw the plants getting protected from frost using cut two-liter bottles. A classic Eddie family method, except someone improved slightly on the design.

Gregory: Y-You say "improved"?

Jacob: Well, gotta give it up for my girl Barb for that one. Well, that and Sprite.

Barbara: Ah, no, no, Mr. Hill. That was all you, that ingenious invention.

Jacob: No ... No, it wasn't. I thought you did it after you put all that mulch in?

Barbara: Huh? Well, what about the cute little labels letting us know what everything is?

Jacob: Not me. I don't know how to write in cursive.

Barbara: Gregory.

Gregory: Hmm?

Barbara: Have you been secretly tending to the garden?

Gregory: Yes.

Jacob: For how long?

Barbara: (Gasps)

Gregory: The entire time.

Barbara: But I planted the daffodils.

Gregory: You did. Just wrong. They were crowding each other out, so I had to replant them.

Martin: Look at you, showing a little initiative.

Jacob: Well... Well, what about the collard greens I planted?

Gregory: That was spinach, which is not an easy mistake to make.

Martin: Not tolerating incompetence. I like that.

Gregory: Thank you, Dad.

Barbara: Gregory, why would you sow secretly? Why would you prune privately? Why would you cull clandestinely? Hidden hoe-ing and whatnot?

Gregory: Are you done?

Jacob: Barbara, hit him one more time.

Barbara: Why would you be tight-lipped about tilling? Everything we planted was a lie?

Gregory: No, no, no, no. Some of those, um, weeds were yours.

Barbara: Oh.

I was only going to post the gifs and quote of Barbara's funny rant to Gregory but the build up to it is way too good not to include. It's just so funny how Barbara and Jacob quickly realized that their help and contributions to the school's garden was either unhelpful or wrong. And that all along it was Gregory who was actually keeping the garden alive and thriving. It's just so funny.
