    How true! How true!! Happens to us all the time.

    My girls have heard me say it a thousand times: "Everyone's a genius about something, and everyone's incredibly stupid about something. Wisdom comes in being able to discern the difference."

    The other one is he taught us to appreciate the effort needed to enjoy a pomegrenate. Took me a while to embrace fruit as gifts but I feel so lucky when he finds a little gem like pluots. Oddly the new obsession in our house, Kiwi, was not introduced to us by him.

    Okay funny threadjack....

    Thursday I took to work 4 strawberries and a Kiwi as a snack. Well these strawberries were ridiculous, like on roids or something so once I finished those I had no desire for my precious little fuzzy kiwi. I SWEAR I left him sitting by my phone to enjoy Friday. But yesterday my Kiwi was MIA. I have a back desk, no one ever goes to an the girl in front of it said after I left no one went there and she was there late. We have a cleaning crew but they only empty trash, no dusting, no touching the desks. So where did it go? Did they desire the sweet wonderful kiwi fruit? Did I mistakingly throw it out? For 24 hours I have been obsessed with trying to remember. DH asked if I sent out a APB "MISSING KIWI!!".

    I found an avacado in the trunk of my car today. I bought it 2 days ago, and never noticed it was MIA.

    Looks perfect still!

    I hope they enjoyed it. It was very ripe was going to be perfect. I actually think I may have accidentally threw it away but I just can't remember!

    Florida roaches are as big as kiwis, but I don't think they could carry one!
