The Great Unknown
Laurienna and Mark are at a nursery, doing Laurienna's favorite activity: shopping for plants.
They arrive in the citrus isle filled with at least 30 different kinds: oranges, yellow lemons, limes, striped yellow and pink lemons, pomelos, blood oranges...And then, a pot with a little tree in marked " Unknown Citrus".
Laurienna: "Oh cool, let's take that one!"
Mark: "Why would you get an unknown citrus?"
L.: "Well, it's fun, it's like a surprise."
Mark: " But there are dozens of trees here. Why not take one that we actually like for sure?"
L.: "Because."
Mark: "Because what?"
L.: " Just because."
Mark: "I think you are insane."
L.: "Hehe. Put it in the cart, darling".
Mark: "You're just kidding right?"
L.: " Oh for god's sake! Why is this so disturbing to you?"
Mark: "I just don't see any reason to get an unknown citrus. It could be bad."
L.: "Oh come on, how bad could it be? I want that one."
Mark: "But whyyyyyyyyyyyyy?"
So, what do you think it is? It could be a spotted yellow and orange mandarine, or a black and white kumquat, or a wavy lined pomelo?

hehe, that's it! Men are from Mars, women from Venus! All is said in your post!
It's so exciting! I bet it's gonna be a terrible violet kumquat with, on every fruit, a mouth full of teeth ready to bite Mark's toes :P (and then, you'd be forced to tell him he was right -ouch!- it was a bad choice :P)
:):)That sounds like one of your great "doodles"!! I can just picture it :)Poor Mark ;)
lol...hmm it's funny cause I feel I've already talked of men/mars women/venus here... Mark and you must be definitely very complementary!
how long till you can "see" what kind of citrus you bought?
Yeah, complimentary is a nice word isn't it? :):). Mark is veeeery cautious and I'm not at all. It's true that we do balance each other out...and get on each other's nerves big time too ;)
For the citrus, I'd think that in 3-4 weeks we should have a good idea of what the beast is! At any rate it's a lovely looking tree :)
