I grew up on a farm near the kill floor of an onion plant, Pam, and it was not pretty. All the screaming, the endless screaming, and then the silence … that terrible, awful silence. Thanks for the comment, Pam.
Watching the new Daniel Craig film The Glass Onion is probably not on your to see list with so much childhood trauma to reconcile. Onion rings, I can imagine are problematic when visiting Red Robin.

(1) I have a painful bony bump at the base of my big toe. I named it Paul Bunion.
(2) Old joke: What did the melon say when asked to run away and get married? “I’m sorry, but I cantelope.”
Assuming the other was a honeydew then the cantaloupe made the right decision as both are from the same melon family. And that is plum wrong; a plum, by the way, is also from the melon family, but a distant relative, thus, is free to marry who he pleases. Thanks, David.
Farm mothers weaning their offspring off first-name relationships with the reproductive organs of produce, may lead to the heartbreak of fructophobia. There was a documentary exposing this issue, which is the main cause of the compulsion for some grownups to cry when slicing onions, but the critics threw rotten tomatoes at it.
I had a pet chicken once and named it Easter. It was an Easter chick and turned out to be a rooster that annoyed the neighbors. So we took it to my grandparents’ farm where my grandma cooked it for Sunday dinner. I was devastated when I found out later. Poor chick. Poor onion.
Haha I am afraid I do not know the Shrek films as well as maybe I should. Once, on a teaching assignment, I was asked to show one of the Shrek films to the class and was surprised to find that my old college roommate was the voice of Rumpelstiltskin! Thanks, SS
Well I’ll be….
I saw someone enclose a see-through saucepan lid in a hoodie as protection when cutting onions…….well I’ll be again
Well, then, I’ll be, too. Thanks, D
How nice of your mom.
Mom has her moments. Thanks, Sadje
🥰👌🏼
One reason I buy pre-sliced onions.

Hilarious! Oscar Onion and Callum Carrot are giving me the evil eye stare as I read this post.
Every knows or has known, an onion. Thanks, MM

You continue to amaze me, tref. :)

A timely reminder to get and anthropomorphism booster shot.
Thanks tref.
Speak of the devil. Do you know what? That is exactly what Paul Onion said. Thanks, B
I’ve always found onions quite chatty, but with a tendency towards depression.
Luckily onions and cantaloupes aren’t good together. I can’t imagine the complete hysteria that would ensue with both at once.
Yeh, I don’t think they hung out.
Lesson learned penny earned I’d say.
I still have that penny, too. Thanks, Janny
Proud to say I have never cried when eating a cantaloupe.
Discussions about onions always remind me of Shrek when he says, “Ogres are like onions.” That’s why I name all my onions Shrek.

Ha! No way!! That’s impressive.
Onions make me laugh until I cry.
Too raw for my tastes. Thanks, G
