Grapefruit and Lemon were hanging out together in the produce bin discussing their dispositions. Grapefruit commented that most of the time she was sweet, but there were times she could be downright sour. Lemon responded that he tended to be sour as well, but he was also quite good at adding a special zest whenever the situation called for it, much like his cousin Orange. Tomato piped in that he thought of himself as a little saucy, and Broccoli, not wishing to be outdone, chimed in that he had a cruciferous nature.

Orange, now deciding to speak up for himself, said it was true he was zesty like his cousin, but he saw himself as, well, more well-rounded. “What about you, Blueberry?” he asked. “How would you describe yourself?” Blueberry answered him in a certain but somewhat condescending tone, “I think of myself as anti in nature. I am an antioxidant, you know.”

Just then the door of the refrigerator opened. All conversation ceased abruptly as they collectively peered through the glass of the produce bin to the shelf below. They broke into spontaneous smiles when they recognized the beautiful dessert plate now sitting there.

Each of them had their own idiosyncrasies, to be sure, but there was one thing they could and would agree on unanimously: though she could be a little crusty at times, they knew of no one as nice or as pleasant or as humble or as easy as Pie, no matter how you slice it!
