berries

Did you know that if you eat an entire pint of raspberries fresh from the no-spray stand, your mouth will start to hurt just like if you eat too much sour candy? I discovered that today. I just couldn't stop myself. I spent $3.75 of the $4 that I had in my purse on a green box of juicy red raspberries that left little red droplets of juice on my fingers. I ate some in the sunshine outside, enjoying the first beginnings of summer.

When I went inside, I offered some to my colleague, but she declined, so I set them on the corner of my desk. And then I ate a few of them. And then I ate a few more. And then I could see the bottom of the box and I figured I might as well finish them. And then my tongue hurt. It was worth it. They were delicious.
