Meanwhile, in the land of eternal youth
Sep. 4th, 2021 02:13 amI was grocery shopping, as one does, and found these strange flat peaches called 'donut peaches' at the grocery. Always up to try some new-fangled fruit, I bought them and went home to google if they were poisonous or not. I found a helpful article on their nature but there was one bit of the article that stood out to me:
"One particular farmer at Union Square named Joe, who requested that I not mention his last name or his orchard, has been growing flat peaches for ten years. When I asked him which of the three varieties at the stand (yellow-fleshed donuts, white-fleshed donuts, and greenish-skinned mango peaches) was his favorite, he explained that he thought all were silly. They’re good snack-sized fruit for kids, he told me, but “if you’re an adult you should be eating regular peaches.” (Self-sabotage.)"

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child, I ate funny shaped fruit as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things and ate regular peaches.
