The Coconut Tree

Down the road, around the corner from our house -on the way to Mia's school- there is this house that keeps a plastic palm tree in their front yard all year long.  We drive past this particular house with this particular tree in the front yard almost every day.  We have seen it countless times.  Last week, on the way to school, Mia suddenly wondered about it from the back seat.  "What is the reason for that coconut tree?  Is it their God or something?"  Priceless.
