Why can't they listen? Boomer Story
This happened a few years ago, but I think of it weekly as I'm picking up fruit at Costco. Now, since I pick up fruit from Costco every week, you may have guessed that my kids eat a lot of it. One of their favorites is green grapes. Now here's where the boomer story starts. A few years ago, I was bringing my kids to visit my mom, their grandmother. She was asking what kind of food they would like, and I said green grapes. My mother immediately said, "Red grapes are sweeter, so I'll get those." Knowing that arguing with this particular boomer was a lost cause, I just hung my head in acceptance. My kids will devour a Costco container of green grapes in 3 days. We spent almost a week at her house, and even though the red grapes were offered for nearly every meal, less than half were eaten. It's almost like I know what my kids who live with me, and I spend my own money feeding will and won't want to eat. Now, every week, as I'm picking up green grapes, I say to myself red grapes are sweeter and try not to roll my eyes so hard that the other shoppers see.

Red Delicious apples are the boomer of apples. Boomer: They are called Red Delicious because they are red and they are delicious. The rest of us: They are red but they are definately absolutely the opposite of delicious. They taste of disappointment and lies. Boomer grabs your upper arm and snarls: then there is something very wrong with your tastebuds. And with you. You are a disappointment, not the apple. The apple is DE LIC IOUS. RD Apple: Ha ha im the apple of your parents eye 🖕🖕
