Sometimes, one will get away from you. Worst case scenario is you'll
smell them before you find them. Or maybe the worst is when they
start reaching out for you! Help me!!!

The last potatoes in my fridge were some nice
Yukon gold potatoes that I bought because they
looked so good. I had them at the back of
fridge for a long time, when suddenly I had
a need for something where a potato would do,
and I reached blindly behind all the stuff
in front to grab the bag with the potatoes
in them and . . . YAAAH! What's that?!?

Turned out that the potatoes had sprouted
and produced long thick roots, and I wasn't
expecting that when I grabbed them.

(laugh!!) I think I would have screamed.
