A dandelion puff ball has about 50 parachuting seeds. My
brother and I once had a contest to see whose dandelion seeds
stayed in the air longer. I won! One of mine traveled up into
the air and out of our sight. My mom wasn’t too happy with
this game. She said, “Stop! You’re blowing the seeds of weeds
everywhere.” I guess she didn’t want weeds all over our yard.
I think she forgot that the wind could do the same thing.
