Willow Trees

There is a house in our neighborhood that we pass everyday that has a weeping willow tree.
My kids are fascinated by it- probably because there are not any others around.
Arabella calls it a weeping willow half of the time and the other half a whipping willow- both are good, right?!
Arabella: Mom I know how you can tell if a weeping willow tree is dead.
Mom: How is that? (Thinking it is all dried up and brown, right.)
Arabella: Instead of being all bent over it will be stiff and straight.  Because a normal tree bends over when it is dead. 
Mom: I bet you are right. (Amazed at the thought process she used to come to that conclusion.)
