"What is that green thingie on my toast?" I inquired with flared nostrils.
"Oh! Sweetie, that's avocado. It's supposed to be very healthy for you." Mom said in a gentle voice as she got busy with the cleanup.
"I just want my PB&J sandwich." I moaned.
"Besides, I will end up becoming a grinch if I eat these toasts."
"Who said?" Mom inquired with hands on her hips and a crossed brow.
"Marsha said her brother has turned green ever since he ate avocados."
Then with a brief pause, "I don't want to hate Christmas by becoming a grinch."
