BREAKING RSA (MOH'ing)

shortly, in the grocery

by: Iris Appelquist

instead of the usual  plastic mesh bag  of oranges or  apples, the kid wants   strawberries,   and says so nicely  with hopeful  expression. the mother  doesn't quite know how to explain to this very  naive person how  cost-ineffective  those strawberries happen  to be (rotted  in less than a  week, only half  finished, they  have to go with  something else, 4 dollars per pound - and thats  in season);   instead of trying at all,  she flat-out denies  the kids red, seedy, innocent-enough desire,  which vacates the  kids face with a  cinema worthy  flourish in the  produce aisle.
