Dad, would just pinch them off the plants and step on them. I think the wite rice like things attached to them are the wasp eggs or larva sucking the life out of them, great idea mother nature, except the object is to use them for food, so if they kill to fast they starve themselves too, it's all in the timing.

I don't like wasps either, but I do like tomatoes, asa kid I'd go out in the garden on my ants farm with a salt shaker, and sit in the rolls of tomatoes and pig out! Jim Good Times!

Let's see........
Is that like if two (or more) people witness an automobile accident (or other event) and see different things?
To each person, they saw what they saw. Each believes THEIR recollections are THEIR "facts". To each what they saw are FACTUAL and REAL. And, they may testify in court accordingly........."This is the way I saw it."

Now, some have tried to stretch it out to "lying". If you want to go down that road, here are some examples.
And, since SOME people like Politifact and/or trust them, we'll use them (and another liberal site) for some of these lists of "alternative facts".

In part:

"A free society means being free of those who rule over you — to do the things you care about, your passions, your pastimes, your loves — to exult in that blessed space where politics doesn’t intervene. In that sense, it seems to me, we already live in a country with markedly less freedom than we did a month ago. It’s less like living in a democracy than being a child trapped in a house where there is an abusive and unpredictable father, who will brook no reason, respect no counter-argument, admit no error, and always, always up the ante until catastrophe inevitably strikes."
