Over spring break, I went home to California. I always see my friend, Luke, and so this time was no different! We went on a little hike, which just turned into an adventure as always. T'was a beautiful day out!
Plus, I had some new running shoes, so I needed to try to break them in and make sure that I love them! (which I do!)
I saw a colony of cacti with fruit on the tops, so I wanted to try them! Why not?!
So, being the kind friend I am, I tried to a cactus fruit off of the top, but it bit me first! I got pricklies all over my hand, so I had Luke grab it for me.
This here, is the fruit.
And now it is opened up! I wanted to try it, but I was a little scared. One, that it would stain my teeth, and two, that it would taste bad! So, I had Luke try it for me. I guess it was just pretty plain. Nothing too special about it.
I was so happy that day. Just a fantastic day! (Even though I had lots of cacti spikes in my hand!)
Sadly, the prickly things stayed in my hand for a long time. All day, and even into the next.
Moral of the story. Do not touch cacti. Even the baby fruits. They have worse prickles on them than the big ones because you can't get them out!
I had no idea the cactus bit you. But you didnt try the catus fruit??! Next time!
