We are getting ready to toss out the old produce:
 |
| Fruity tile #1 on the kitchen backsplash |
 |
| Fruity tile #2 - that's right - they vary |
 |
| "Peaches, blackberries, and budding fruit" |
I wonder if we just decided to leave the tile, would the future owner of our home gush to a friend, "It still has the ORIGINAL FRUIT TILE!!!"? And the friend would overflow with excitement; she might praise us, the previous homeowner, for resisting the urge to destroy such a treasure. And they would both celebrate with a delectable fruit salad and endless fount of sangria.
 |
| Did someone say "sangria?" We are so there. |
Am I willing to sacrifice their sheer joy at their discovery? Do I want to turn my back on their endless praise of my keen foresight? Just to rid myself of a few fruity tiles?
 |
| "Fruit is not only tasty, but makes lovely headgear." |
Not to mention the cost of replacing these fruits. Our family could enjoy the benefits of lifelong fruit-of-the-month club for this expense. And have a little money left over for a manicure.
 |
| Embrace your inner fruitiness. If nothing else, it will get you out of cooking dinner. |
Unfortunately, as we all know, fruit does have a short shelf life. And I am afraid - for me at least - these fruits have soured.
