belong to the morning-glory family.

do the ole toothpicks to suspend cut sweet pot in glass of water and grow a morning glory-like flower,

The Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is indigenous to South America - and made it's way around the world rapidly after European contact....

Also, many people believe the white potatoes come from Ireland. They, also, are from the Americas = also blue, purple, red, etc = many of which are once again being grown...you can even buy "Blue Potato Chips"

Do you feel the same way? Because I think that’s outrageous. How did your brother ever manage to chew through the leather straps, that’s what I want to know.

I bet you teased him a lot when you were children.

A sweet potato with butter and salt is better than any regular white potato.

And a sweet potato with butter and warmed pure maple syrup drizzled over tastes even better...

trust me

That’s a strange looking child. I think it’s because his left ear is much larger than his right.

Leather straps? LOL I don’t like sweet potatoes and eggs.

I have no idea where he picked up that strange combination. Certainly not from his sisters!

Well you girls need to work on him. He's obviously crazy and it sounds like he might be dangerous.

No, it's true! I heard the young adults discussing such a thing while I was having a phosphate down at the drugstore.

Sweet potatoes produce an inordinate amount of methane and that is definitely not good for the environment. Just ask Al Gore.

Don't like sweet potatoes? Hearing voices? I see. We're dealing with a phosphate addict here, that is clear.
