Hey Lettuce,

What, Tomato?

Is she ever going to make a salad or not?

Gee, Lettuce, I don’t know. Have you talked to the onion lately?

Nah, it smells so bad I can’t get near it.

Yeah, and those radishes. Whoever heard of not cutting off the tops and washing them.

No wonder they’re so slimey.

Yeah and that cheese has mold all over it.

She doesn’t put cheese in salad, does she?

Nah, but she doesn’t take any better care of it than she does of us, piped up the onion.

Say, Tomato, have you seen the mold on that roast beef? It’s gotta be 3” thick.

Are you kidding, Tomato, that’s a foot thick or you’re not true Romaine.

Okay, okay, already. Maybe we ought to check on the sprouts.

Hey Sprouts,

Yeah, Lettuce

How old are you

Oh, about 10 days

You been in a salad yet, queried Tomato?

Nah, but I acted in an omelets just yesterday. It was a little warm. She forgot to turn the

skillet down and almost burned my hide off. I tried to holler, but she was too busy

kissing her old man. WHAT IS kissing, anyway?

Beats me, chimed Lettuce.

dancingpsalmist,

Oh I like this. :cool:

It is really cute and gave me a smile, but I think it also has some hidden undertones of prejudice and intolerance.

My one suggestion would to add quotation marks.

I must say, after reading this, I'll never look at a salad in quite the same way. :eek: :D

Now excuse me, I have to go and clean out my fridge.

Fun read. Great job. !thumbsup!

Another cute one! As I said, these would make good kid's stories. You ought to develop these further and see what happens.
