My darling daughter picked two of my four unripe tomatoes this afternoon. I scolded her firmly and walked to set the two sad creatures on the steps. As I turned back around, I saw her engaged in picking the other two (on a different plant). She didn't get them detached, but did wound the stem; we'll see if they survive.

Rassin'-frassin kids. Get offa my lawn! Oh, wait.

She was just trying to help...

(Of course, I'd probably have shot her.)

Your fault. You turned your back on her. What were you thinking?

I did the same thing when I was her age. In a burst of "helping" Daddy I picked quite a number of green tomatoes. Mom made fried green tomatoes from some and set others out hoping they'd ripen.
