ReplyDelete#4: You've come a long way baby! -- Worked on your personal development so that you've left Fruitarianism behind for Breatharianism? Here's a safe and colourful reminder of how far you've come.

ReplyDeleteand "why we cry at weddings"?! GENIUS!~
Oh! I remember REALLY wanting those giant fruits and veggies! Some store near me had similar ones made up and they were just such fun. I was about 8, mind you. WAIT... I am having this vague memory of actually MAKING a giant pea pod with removable peas. Can that be? Will have to give the names some thought, with what's left of my brain.
ReplyDeleteSo here's something I haven't told anyone in about three decades, because who would care? -- I spent the first night of Passover, 1978, at a seder hosted by Totie Fields. Wanna hear about her house?
ReplyDeleteVery badly!
