Radishes

When I was a child, I liked radishes for their vibrancy of color. But one day, I eagerly bit into a radish, only to discover that my toddler mouth utterly rejected the bitter-strong taste that those vibrant radishes had to offer. I ran crying to my mother, let down by that bright radish that stung me so, and after that, it wasn’t until I was much older that I entertained the thought of radishes ever again.
