But how did she not find out

Why is that devastating? Now it will never die

This reminds of that one episode where Doofenshmirtz is jealous of his neighbor's plants so he built an -inator that would ruin all plants in Tri-state Area only to find out it was all plastic and get beat up by Perry the Platypus.

Ok, so I have a bunch of plants that I'm a b i t obsessed with. I went to this big garden store with my mom, and she was picking stuff out to decorate her store. She told me I could buy one thing (under 20 dollars), so I chose this really tiny succulent in a glass bottle. Looking at it, you would think that it's real, so it wasn't until I realized it wasn't growing that I found out it wasn't. I was devastated, because the employee told me how much to water it and everything. Was she messing with me, or did she think it was real too?
