Why Is Grass Green

Grass is green because it is envious of trees which are much taller and don't get stepped on like grass does. Trees don't get mowed every week in the summertime and sprayed with Weed-be-gone.

Also, grass is green because it is filled with chlorophyll not chloroform that is a green pigment that reflects green light from the sun and absorbs the other colors. Yeah, right, if you believe that one, you're pretty green yourself.

Green grass actually comes from elves, who are themselves green. They sprinkle faerie dust over the earth at night and some lands on plants and turns them green. In the Winter, the elves hybernate so grass is usually brown during this time. But, in Spring time, the elves come back out and start sprinkling again and tinkling all over the grass, which is great fertilizer.
