I have resigned myself to eating all the ugly mandarins at home first. You know why? 'Cos its still the New Year and people are still popping by the house to bai nian. And since its not nice to give them oranges with wrinkled skin, better eat them first. Haha...
So as I rummage through the ornamental wicker basket (holding all of 2 boxes of Swatow Mandarins) looking for my next prey... Mom wonders why I can't eat them top ones first - older on top mah... and I'm forced to explain to her. But she is satisfied with my explanation and lets me go on my way.
Its like some Darwinism theory, he who is ugly, gets eaten first. Oh dear, I better watch out.
