The Avocado, Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time, the avocado was a rare, gnarly beast. An oddity my mother would invest in, leaving it on the window ledge until it ripened.
When it was ready, she dug into the bright-green flesh with her spoon.
Eughhh!, we cried.
Tastes change. Now avocado is my favourite thing.
