just because i'd never seen it

first of all, let me say that the only skins in question were the peach and nectarine.

i still dont know anyone who will eat the peach skin. as for the others, with store-bought fruit, it's ok, but if you live on a farm in Ohio, where the bugs are, you tend to peel more things.

also, when you have fucked-up teeth, and then later braces, you peel everything because it's either embarassing to eat it or you get it caught everywhere.

that doesnt change the fact that the only fruits i ever saw anyone eat in their lunches were strawberries, bananas, apples, grapes and oranges. nobody ever brought plums, nectarines, peaches or pears, unless they were those individual-portion canned kind.

my mom couldnt believe i'd never seen anyone eat nectarines with the skin on. or peaches, despite the gross fuzz. i just hadn't. that doesnt make it impossible.

and yes, i would most definitely get grossed out if you picked a peach off of my parents' trees and ate it.
