Meanings

Rebekah is having some hard times, so I said "tender grasses will grow easily," which is a positive turn on a line from an Andrew Bird song.
"Thank you," she said, and I was surprised. The line is so ambiguous out of context; sure grasses will keep growing and replacing the dead. I guess I didn't expect it to be apparent and comforting, because I might not have immediately gotten it.
I don't know why it feels so weird to me all of the sudden.

Apparently squirrels will be having litters in a week. I assume it means the average majority of North American squirrels. That's for you, Jessica.
