I was getting my backpack ready so I could catch a few of the sun's last rays by the lake before I went to the grocery store after work. And when I looked inside something caught my eye causing me to do a double take.
What's that down there???
Stowaways!!!
Cautiously, I reached my hand in to grab them, afraid they might bite.
But they didn't.
Probably because they were so dehydrated - I could clearly see every wrinkle.
They had to have been down there for at least a week and a half!
Poor little guys. But that's what you get for hopping off the blueberry pint train to avoid becoming a tasty treat.
Huh, this sounds eerily familiar to what happened to their distant cousins, The Grape Brothers. Yeah, Vince and Carlos hopped off their family's vine at the vineyard so they wouldn't become a tasty treat - wine. But wouldn't you know it, they still got eaten - by a lumberjack, no doubt - when he saw them sleeping under a leaf. The logger saw their exhaustion wrinkles and thought they were raisins!
Well, lucky for these former blueberries, they didn't become a tasty treat.
They did however get thrown in to the compost bin. And there's no telling what will happen in there . . .
