Mia wants a dog, but her mom wants her to start with something easier: a plant.
Mia thinks her new plant is beyond boring, since it doesn’t do anything fun, like shake a paw. But when she turns her back on it for just a moment, it eats her sandwich. Then her stuffed lion. Mia tries shutting it in the bathroom, but she returns to see “Plants are NOT boring!” scrawled in lipstick on the bathroom mirror. As Plant feeds on more and more of Mia’s stuff, she wonders if there’s anything she can do! When she spots the care tag inside its pot, Mia realizes that how she treats Plant matters. If she takes good care of it, maybe Plant could be a great companion after all.
