Fruit Snob

I am one of those people you see in the grocery store sifting through all of the fruit looking for the very best of the best. I don't do soft and mushy bruises, I don't do odd shapes and colors. If you want to be a fruit in my produce club you have to be better than the rest because we are very exclusive. Because otherwise I can't handle it, I'm just weird like that. 
I'm a fruit snob.

Earlier this week I was at the grocery store doing a little produce shopping with a friend. Whenever I go grocery shopping with someone else I always feel a little silly because my method seems so strange. 

I'm just so snobby! I can't help it. 
I like my food to look pretty.

I was picking out apples, which is probably the fruit I am the most snobby about. So there I was, picking up every single apple and checking it for perfection. Then I looked over at the girl next to me. She was doing the same thing. She looked at me and said, "So I see that you are a fruit snob as well". 

And then we became instant friends. Because how can you not be friends with another fruit snob?

I finished my grocery shop, doing the same check-for-perfection process with my bananas and pears and avocados.

And this may seem like a pointless story, and it kind of is.

Usually I have a little deeper meaning type of thing at the end of all of my posts. So I'm going to sum it up with a movie quote from Fantastic Mr. Fox. 
This is one of my favorite movies, by the way, and if you haven't seen it then maybe you should check it out. Then again, it's a very specific kind of humor so maybe you shouldn't. You'll just think I'm even more strange than you already think.

But that is my point!

"We're all different, 
but there's something kind of fantastic about that".

So go be different, go be yourself, go be a fruit snob. 

Because chances are there will always be someone else who is going to be the same kind of different as you.
