Beauty Is Only Skin Deep

So the nephew picked up this box of beautiful looking clementines. They are just ok for me, nothing special, other than how beautiful they are to look at.

When the nephew tasted of the real fruit hanging from our trees, he decided to snub his fresh box of fruit. In fact, he announced this morning that the oranges from our trees are amazing after an early morning hike. He proclaimed with conviction as tho I needed convincing. I just smiled and said, “I’m so happy you are enjoying the fruit.” He wasn’t up early enough to know I already had 2 myself.

With plenty of fruit to go around, so much so that it’s rotting before we can get to it all.

It almost seems a shame that these beautiful guys are going to rot in the trash. If I didn’t know better, I would say this is a tasty box of fruit. But I know better, and the nephew will never buy another orange, so long as he is visiting with us.

It’s true, sometimes all you have to do is peel a little to learn a little.
