I dont want to be an orange unless its firmly attached to the fruit plus naughty horses

Oranges and the meaning of death.

I listened to a woman explaining death to 2 very wide eyed little girls (who had just lost their great grandmother)

you see when you peel the skin off an orange, that's like your skin, just a shell and inside the orange (she says jabbing her chest) thats you, so when the skin comes off  its just a shell you are shedding and they dont die cos they are always in your heart

Please let me be a an orange that is firmly attached to the fruit!

Can't see those kids wanting to eat oranges in the future
