1. My mom served us grapefruit often. She would cut them in half and sprinkle sugar on them and refrigerate them overnight.
   We had curved knives you would cut around between the peel and the flesh and then eat with your spoon.
   Still have one of the knives.

2. Cute little kid! And obviously enjoying his fistful of grapefruit.

   Some of the X commenters are really screwed up. They think the kid’s being tortured and whoever supplied the grapefruit is some kind of cruel monster. How stupid do you have to be not to remember that sour stuff makes you screw up your facial expression? You can’t really avoid it, even though you like the flavor you’re tasting. And that baby OBVIOUSLY likes the flavor he’s tasting, otherwise that piece of grapefruit would be on the floor (or wall) in about 0.5 seconds. But it wasn’t, was it?

6. At the blackjack table 30 hours and 40 drinks in. Two pints of straight grapefruit juice and bango, ready for another half a day of debauchery. Baby pleases parent, likes parent, trusts parent. Cute for that. Keep that trust, it’s irreplaceable.

8. Grapefruit tastes like poison. For people on statins for cholesterol, grapefruit IS poison.

9. Marooned, in my opinion it doesn’t pair well with coffee either.
   The main reason I don’t eat as many as I used too.
   Gotta have my morning cup of Joe.

10. So, why does this baby keep going back for more?
    Because he saw Mommy eating it.
    @BAR – my Dad grew a ruby red grapefruit tree in Florida. They were delicious when pulled fresh from the tree fully ripened.

13. Related, I have an aluminum sales guy that’s been selling to us for over twenty years. He played middle linebacker at some Northwest college. A corn fed guy. 6’6. I’m not a small guy.Just to set the stage of out of control masculinity involved. He mentions he’s got a grand son that’s freaken huge. Breaking records. Turns out so do I. We spent 15 minutes sharing I phone pictures of babies and family. I finally had to chuckle and asked him, hey Scott, when we first met 25 years ago did you ever think we;’d be swapping pictures of our grande kids? We had a pretty good laugh and then went right back to sharing pictures. How sad.
