Day 18: Kill Something today

Today we have to kill something. The book hints at killing an insect, but as I have already insulted an insect, I chose to do something else. I wanted to kill a plant in my house. Now my mom isnt that great of a gardener, so she really takes pride in the few living plants we have around the house. I would feel SO bad if I killed one of those. I was just about to try to think of something else when I remembered that I have a plant of my own- a shoot of bamboo that I keep in the bathroom. I went to the bathroom, and thought, I'll kill it with nail polish remover! and dumped a crapload of nail polish remover in it's little pot. I immediately regretted this. I love that little bamboo shoot! I had one that the cats knocked over and killed so I had to get a new one from the flea market and it was ten dollars and I just love it. I think it's so cool and I really enjoy seeing it when I get ready in the morning. And now I know I'll have to watch it suffer as it eats acetone and slowly dies and that just breaks my heart. I feel so bad. This task was too mean for me.
Here is a picture of the bamboo. Ill try to put up pictures of it as it dies.. :(
