Answer: An elderberry.

Robin has agreed to send me a joke daily, if they can, from wherever she is. She and her parents are visiting San Diego.

She called me earlier with the trick, but I was busy and couldn’t take the call. Emma sent me the joke tonight; Robin was playing with a cousin.

Robin says she has a hundred jokes to tell me. I believe her and look forward to hearing more. I laugh every time.

She’s very into hermit crabs out there. Photo by Emma Span.
