Hairy Balls

what are light green milkweed seeds called? hairy balls! There are three old women at the table. One spits out her dentures. We cannot stop laughing. I am not kidding, one tells us. I work at an arboretum. Look it up. We do and we cannot stop laughing. The guy in the booth behind the other two turns and glares at me. I am laughing so hard now, I am crying. They have no idea, and they keep it going and going and going.
