There’s nothing wrong with your comprehension. It’s just not a joke. Nancy gave an app a bad rating because…well…because it didn’t make a plant grow. That’s actually the whole thing.

It’s the READER’S fault that they don’t recognize what a brilliant artist I am. Even when I’m one step above stick figures.
