Chia Day 19, so long good friend

Today, the Chia Hippo passed away in his sleep. It was a good life, that the chia led but, alas, it was his time. He was getting stinky, and a little moldy, and the chia was no more.

Chia and I were good friends for his 19 days of life. We talked over lunch and I watered him every day. Though Chia never grew as beautiful as the image on the box and the commercials said he would, and he never actually grew anything on the upper half of his little chia clay body, he was agood chia.

Unfortunately, scraping the seeds off of, and pulling the sprouts out of dear chia was much more fun than watching him grow.

Chia is survived by his friends: Chia Cat, Chia Tazmanian Devil, and Chia Head.
