The Mango of Doom

[kathryn_ironic]

The mango of doom sits on the kitchen counter, ripening, wrapped in a light foam netting.

Today or tomorrow will be the optimal time to eat it, now that it's more yellow than green and giving off a mango perfume.

It is irradiated, expensive, and has possibly flown more miles this year than I have.

I've been told that it will explain why my friends

(there is a lot of time between so I'm not sure of the particulars) that I first tasted a mango in Miami, FL, where I think a friend in my school (1st year of college) brought them after a visit home. It was a wonderful fruit that had not made it to Kansas City at all

Do I want my understanding of mangoes to undergo this same Red Delicious evolution?

Yes, as the difference between life and reflections.

I've been pleasantly surprised by very good Red Delicious apples.
