My Top 5 Fruits - The Other KLM

First…
I’d pick
Grapes.
Red, green, gleaming…
Purple pops of pleasure…
They all…
Wait…
What?
Not…
Technically a fruit?
Oh…
Oookay…

Next up…
Kiwis…
Fuzzy, funny little fellows…
Bright green guts…
Perfectly fruity,
Right?
Hold on…
Hold on!
Not a “fruit” fruit?
A berry?
You’ve got to be kidding!

Well, there’s
Bananas…
Bendy, bright, and beckoning…
Long, yellow, and…
Right…
Right…
Here it comes…
Also berries?
Who’s making these rules?
Seriously!

Let’s try
Watermelon…
Summer in a slice…
Sweet, succulent secrets…
Surely, it’s a fruit, right?
Right?
Nope?
Foiled again!
Watermelon?
A berry?
Who’s making these rules?

I was going to say
Raspberries…
But… given my track record…
Surely they’re berries…
Right?
I mean, it’s in the name.

You gotta be kidding me!
I give up!

I really hate talking about myself, but if I have to... I’m K.L. McDaniel, the person behind TheOtherKLM. I’m an introvert with extrovert moments, a fitness-minded person fighting later-age fat, and someone trying to keep life somewhat organized without pretending it isn’t a mess. Here, I write about the things I keep coming back to: movement, mental health, learning, self-awareness, and the strange little contradictions that make people interesting. I’m not here to act like I have everything figured out. I’m here to think through it, laugh when possible, and maybe find a little balance in the middle of the clutter. So, that’s me. More or less.
