Farewell, Giving Tree. Hello depressing firewood pile.

You're lucky. Only decent tree we had is a fig tree, which makes you itch if you climb it, and drops figs for you to step on. Eeeww.

You better get a new tree in there, hopefully something similar to the previous one....though in 40 years someone else may be annoyed when it falls on their car and/or house, at least you'll feel good about it.

Hah. In 40 years, my brother will probably still be there. He's never left, and he earns more money than any of us.

Could you at least eat the figs? Figs are yummy.

Interesting, I didn't have that experience. When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time at my grandmother's house. She had a fig tree in her backyard that I climbed all the time and I have no memories of it making me itchy.

What's kind of funny about that tree is that my dad planted it when he was a kid for the specific purpose of having a climbing tree. Unfortunately it didn't grow big enough to climb until he was grown up and had a son (me), but I loved it!
