“Green?” Emily was having trouble keeping up. She kept
getting distracted by everything and she’d turn around and
Dani would be way ahead of her, power pushing that cart like
it was an Olympic sport. She was obviously much more
efficient at this too.
Dani shrugged. “If you buy them yellow, they already taste
bad. At least, I think they do. I like them when they’re
crunchy.”
“Ew, seriously?”
“Take it from someone who grew up eating them when they
were brown as brown can be.” Dani wrinkled her nose, but
Emily wasn’t sure it was at the mental image of rotting
bananas, or if it had something entirely different to do with her
childhood. Before she could ask, Dani pointed across the way,
to where the store had displays of flowers set up. There was a
big cooler, bunches in baskets, and potted plants, as well as
balloons floating towards the ceiling with pretty ribbons
hanging down to the floor. “Look. They have cactuses.”
Dani power carted over to the small two-tiered round table
where small cactuses in cheap plastic brown pots stood just
waiting to prickle anyone who dared reach in for one. Dani
was daring. Of course, she was. She left the cart and picked up
a cactus that looked like a weird growth in the bottom of
someone’s fridge. It was green and prickly, not fuzzy, but it
seriously looked like a brain with the big bump and all the
little bumps growing all over it.
“Ooh. I don’t have one like this. And it’s on sale!” Dani put
it in the cart next to the bundle of green bananas. “What else
did I say I needed?”
