For the love of lemons..

Wesley has always had a strange fascination with inanimate objects. For example he becomes insanely attached to rocks and this summer and egg. Yes, I said an egg. He loved that thing sooooooo much. He discovered it in the fridge on day and carried it around in a bowl. I snuck in and "borrowed and boiled it" during the night one night. I begged him to keep it in the fridge because it was JULY. One day it just disappeared (strange huh?) He was terribly upset for days.
Today we were in Kroger and there was this large stack of lemons. He fell in love. He immediately wanted to adopt all of them. I let him get one. We got to the check out and he cried because the conveyor might hurt it. The girls were picking on him telling him they were going turn it in to lemonade. He was singing some song about the love of lemons and the teenage cashier was just giving this what is he doing look. I looked at the bagger (also a teenage boy) and say " he is gonna need his own bag for that Lemon!"

When we got home he picked it up and toted it around.

Right now it asleep in the crisper drawer.
Lemony Wilson is his/her name.
