Fruit Frenzy

On our evening constitutional, about five block down the street from our house we ran in to a little girl selling bags of apricots in her front yard. They have a super mega apricot tree that hangs over onto the sidewalk and we may have been known to use our super laser vision to cut a few down on late, dark, evening walks. Anyway, the bags were only a $1 each so we told her we'd be back in 10 minutes, turned around and went back home where we scrounged up $2. We scored two loaded backs of apricots for $2!!! Of course then we had to carry them for the rest of the mile walk, but it was worth it. We got home and dumped them into the strainer, estimating that we probably had about 2 pounds worth. We meant to weigh them while they were in the paper bags, but forgot and then we each ate some, so forget about it!
And I feel so much more honest for having ripped her off for $2 rather than having stole them outright. It's the little things, right?

Now if only somebody was selling fresh cherries for $1 per loaded paper lunch bag!
