Bad Fruit and Gnats

I love the rain. It brings back lots of memories of waiting for rainbows and silly old men talking about leprechauns. So I was reading some of my past posts and I figured, I'm going to get something straight, with myself and with my post.

First of all let me use an analogy: the gnats and the rotten fruit.

Would you eat a rotten fruit, especially if there were a bunch of gnats flying around, flying into your face, mouth, ears and any other place that is uncomfortable that they find? yeah, neither would I. So here's the deal. So many boys I would relate to the rotten fruit and the gnats you are (hopefully) asking? Girls who follow them around. Really annoying.

The rotten fruit aren't worth it. The good fruit is. Unlike my analogy, there is more rotten fruit that I know of than good fruit - so it's hard, and I really hate rotten fruit. I'll get into Banana Bread a little bit later.

There's always going to be rotten fruit. It just happens. Sometimes they don't look rotten on the outside so you stick your teeth into them and they surprise you. With fruit we go "Eww! Gross!" and spit it out as quickly as possible. That is what girls need to do with those boys who 1) make you feel like dirt 2) make crude jokes about girls when they're not around (or worse when they ARE around) and 3) don't have the same standards as you.

All those things make for a very bad fruit. Spit it out.

(sidenote: it's been a very wet year - lots of rain - I love it)

Wanna know what I hate the most about bad fruit? The gnats follow you after you get too close to it. I hate gnats. I want to squish them. The live sad lives.

Now for the Banana Bread side of this great analogy. Did you know that the best kind of bananas to use for banana sweet bread are partially rotten ones, even black? VERY ripe I guess you could say - spoiled, you name it. They're the best, but they taste GROSS alone, so only after they have things added to them, mixed, mashed, spiced, cooked THEN they are fit to be served. So rotten fruit (rotten boys) CAN end up being good - but only after being cooked, and mashed and spiced and FIXED. And the best part? There are no gnats around banana bread.

:D
