Mango Moment!

Today’s story is a simple one. I was eating mangoes in the street in public like they were apples. I’d just bought 13 of them from the super market. I’m walking through the heart of south Miami Beach and some guy leans out of the passenger window of the car. “Yo where you get those mangoes” he asks. Trader Joe’s. I respond. Oh Trader Joe’s oh ok, I knew this was a disappointing answer because it wasn’t nearby and probably had a twenty five minute line to get into the store, as usual. So I took a few more steps and then I though wait! So I fished in my bag, grabbed a mango, and throw it , probably the 8 feet away. The throw wasn’t great, it was good, but the gentleman had to lean outside the car and outstretched his arm. He made the catch. It felt glorious. “What’re you Tom Brady? “ he tried to flatter me with. “Nah that catch was all you that throw was even that good!” I yell at his car as it drives off.

I love moments like these so much. This made my day .

Mango toss. I couldn’t find any images of a mango being thrown to someone in an automobile. I’m glad.
