It's time for a change...



...In grocery chains. The following ACTUALLY happened:

Nooze elbowed me and pointed. "Momma! Look!" she hissed. My gaze followed her gesture; I gasped at what I saw.

A little girl, no more than 2 or 3 years old, stood before the peaches in the produce section. She carefully selected a peach, inspected it, LICKED it, and then PUT IT BACK ON THE SHELF.

"Momma?" Nooze whispered. "Can we buy oranges instead?"

Forget that. We're switching to CANNED.

It's not the grocery store's fault...it's the PARENTS...where was Nooze? WITH YOU...where was this child's parents? Who knows????

That's as bad as parents who let their kids eat the grapes out of the bag as they shop...uh...yeah...those are sold by WEIGHT...you are STEALING....

I won't be buying peaches any time soon (don't like fuzzy fruit anyway!!!), but I DO wash all my fruit before eating it, thank GOD!

oh...and I'm all UP for a reunion with my sister at your place, lol!!!

Oh, that is just wrong on so many levels.

However, it does remind me of our family's favorite joke:

Do you like fruit?
Yes.
Then take a bite of my butt, it's a peach.

Renn, we drove through Elkins about 7-8 years ago, on our way to visit friends in Tucker County (St. George). It is a wonderful area, but mr. kenju almost got sick driving the narrow, curving roads. He refused to let me take over, though.....lol

Do you suppose its safe to spray peaches with Lysol before you eat them?

Note to self: Invent edible Lysol ASAP.
