When we were much younger, apples and oranges were not readily available. They were REALLY special treats that we had when someone gave them to Father as gifts, mostly during Christmas.
However, I vaguely recall having some oranges in the house when we received some at a time someone in the family had gotten hospitalized. I don't remember too many details about the whole thing. I don't know who got sick or when this happened, etc. (I'm not even 100% sure that this was the reason for the fruits in the house.) What I do remember is that older sister London Eye had peeled one of the oranges we had received in such a way as to make a very, very long piece. Then she ran after me shouting, 'Snake! Snake!" scaring the wits out of me.
Every time I peel fruits in that fashion, I recall how ridiculous it was for me to be scared of the orange peel. And yes, I also recall how MEAN big sisters can be at times.
As GI pointed out, it is not an orange in the picture. It is a persimmon, which Father received from family friends for his birthday.
