I worked as a farmhand this summer. Often at the end of a hard day's
work, my "boss" would give me a bag full of ripe, large zucchinis from the garden. I usually bit in to them on the car ride home, unable to wait until supper. Most of the time, after a bite, I began to gag because they tasted absolutely foul. A lot of cross-breeding often took place between zucchinis and the cucumbers, and whether this was because of the stupid gardener's incompetence or sheer bad luck remains a mystery. The point? Often "farm fresh" is a synonym for "awful," and next time you see a plastic sack of rotten tomatoes at Kroger's you might want to thank your lucky stars that you have any food at all. > > "My mother feels that I'm too hard on my children, so when they visit her > she likes to spoil them. > > "Would you like a piece of chocolate?" she asked Lena one evening. > > Lena was watching Loony Toons.
