What the...?
Just a random observation: Dole Mandarin Orange fruit bowls always contain fifteen tiny orange segments. I know this because nearly every day at lunchtime, I split one between the two big twins. Don't the people at Dole realize that all things must be equally dividable when you have more than one child? What is with this odd number crap? I always eat the last one myself. Ha, ha!

We have issues with cherry division in fruit bowls here. Drives me insane!

Wow, we just had two of those babies just to check and you're right! I think I liked it better when I thought it was random, though.

LOL, forget Algebra and American History, as Mommies, these are the important facts we are learning. Dole Mandarin orange fruit cups have 15 slices. ALWAYS.

So funny.

I think it's because Mandarin oranges have between 9 and 15 sections.

So, to put a "whole" orange in there, there must be 15 sections, or it's a "ripoff" because they're using "only the small oranges" Maybe?

It is weird though when having to split them between 2 kids ;)

Know what gets me though? When restaurant appetizers have uneven numbers. Like: 5.

Can't split that between 2 or 3 with any sense. Not that it matters, I am all for giving the odd one to the other person, but damn, it's lame. I think there should always be 6, when it's a "small piece" appetizer.

I am looking for my memories through the stories, the narrative of people. I feel it is difficult but I will try.
