Is it saying anything back to you?
[It seems like a really stupid question to ask. It feels like a stupid question to ask. Probably because in a fair number of other contexts, she thinks this is the kind of thing one of the boys would ask, not her. But it seems more reasonable now even if still very stupid. Conversations are two way streets, so if the plant can listen, can it say anything else???]
