Not My Proudest Moment

5 months ago I bought some Miracle Grow fertilizer which promised to help my plants grow twice as big, twice as fast. Having big dreams to have a green thumb, I have been using it every week hoping the results will be as promised. Today while using it I began to be impressed that it has lasted me so long so I looked at the jar to see how long it should last. While looking I realized there were instructions on the side that I had never bothered to read. Apparently the clear jar is supposed to fill up with water and mine never has. Getting suspicious I unscrewed the jar from the spout and found there is a removable clear sealer that should have been removed. For 5 months when I thought I had been fertilizing I have actually just been watering.

I have never claimed to be one of the smarter ones on this planet but I think I have reached an all time low at this point.
