Orchid Chronicles: The Freckles sisters came to me distressed again. The reason was different this time. An "itsy bitsy spider" had made a web in the bottom leaves of their orchid plant. They were shocked, "Girls like us don't get spiders!..."...

In the meantime, the Lemon sisters, watching the "first aid spider treatment", started laughing and chimed in with yet another impromptu rendition of "Itsy bitsy spider" song:
"An itsy bitsy spider climbed up the orchid stalk.

The Lemon sisters may be locked in time with their song choices, but they are acting in the now. Spider gone. Lemon sisters living in the "now". This was a good day at the Center.
