30-Day Writing Challenge, Day 10 – A fruit I dislike and why

source

 

Yeah, I see you sitting there, Pear. You’re all, ‘oh, I look kind of like a misshapen apple, I’m sure you won’t notice the difference at all.’

But you know what, Pear? I do notice the difference. Completely. You’re no apple. You’re not even close.

I don’t like pears. (duh, right?) I mean, I don’t like peaches either, but they don’t rub me the wrong way like pears do. I guess I don’t have any desire to eat a peach. I don’t get the whole fuzzy texture on the outside. At least, they have a great song, a great album, and a no-longer-in-business-record-store named after them. Pears, on the other hand, look very similar to apples. Granted, they look similar to green apples, which I’m not a fan of either, but that’s not the point.

The point is they look like something they’re not. Be who, or in this case, what you’re going to be. Be a pear.

Here’s another thing. They look like upside down light bulbs. I don’t want to eat a light bulb .source

So, there you go. A fruit I dislike. I could go on and on, actually. There are loads of fruit I dislike. My list of fruits I do like is pretty small: apples (red), bananas, oranges, pineapples, blueberries, strawberries, and sometimes tangerines, but only when they’re Clementines, well sometimes those American knock-offs.
