I finally stopped by Amanda’s yesterday to pick up some cherries. 10 pounds of cherries, to be exact. I also picked up 10 pounds for Karen while I was there.
As we drove away, Matthew says, Don’t eat too many at once. You KNOW what they do to you
My reply?
Oh, I’ve been having cherries quite often this summer, and I think I’ve built up an immunity.
We get home, and I eat a bunch of cherries with lunch. All is well, at least for a few hours. Then I head outside to talk to Honey as he’s working on the house.
So…you know how I said I’d built up an immunity? I spoke too soon.
Meaning?
Um, I’ve been a little explosive this afternoon. The boys think I’m hilarious, though, due to the pure volume of sound escaping my body.
And explosive I was, for the rest of the day. Good thing we weren’t in public anywhere, or entertaining guests. You would think that I had learned a lesson. But cherries are SO GOOD. Especially when they are ripe, dark red, and cold from the fridge.
Their sweet goodness makes you forget the previous day’s issues. Or at least it diminishes the memory of how truly nasty your body can be. Thus, I am able to justify further consumption of said cherries.
So I sit here typing this…and spitting cherry pits into a bowl. Let the good times begin anew.
Cherries, anyone?
You could market them as a cure for pregnancy constipation!
I too LOVE cherries but we pay through the nose for them here and they are only avaliable for a short time during the summer. I may have to spring for them again though=)

Hahaahaa, that is hilarious! Cherries are too much of a luxury item here to get to eat them in excess so I’ve never had your experience, ENJOY!

I, too, thought I was immune.
I, too, have been exploding all day.
It’s a little embarassing at work.

Thank God I don’t like cherries…but I do have a mom that does.
