THE OTHER DAY I went to a little fruit market. I had forgotten that the owner is supposed to pick out your fruit for you. I proceeded to pick two apples and two oranges on my own. Finally, I was going to have some fresh fruit! Unfortunately, what I had picked was not what I was expecting. Next time I will make sure to have them pick my fruit. It is so funny to me—in America, if there were a produce “picker” at each grocery store, people would be completely confused and upset that they were unable to feel their fruit/veggies before purchasing them.
