Good! The Costco fruit bowls now have a little bowl of blueberries at the
top. I assumed that my husband loved blueberries because when we were
dating, he made me blueberry pancakes which I couldn't even force myself to
eat as I hate them that much.

Then after I had the baby, I asked him to go to Dunkin Donuts and buy me a
bran muffin. I don't really like muffins either but felt that I needed the
bran. He brought me back everything but bran, including two blueberry ones
which he ate when I said I wouldn't.

But it turns out that he hates blueberries as much as I do.
