Please Don't Eat the Apples

This weekend was The Market, which is my Junior League placement. I was in charge of stage events. On Thursday I was there to coordinate Neal Hunter Hyde's performance (He is awesome, btw), and as I sat in the audience, I observed a man walk over to one of the tables with his laptop. Maybe he had a booth at the show, I don't know. But he sat down, opened up his computer, glanced around, and then grabbed an apple.

The apple that was sitting atop a wire-and-metal vase in the center of the table.

Because it was a part of the centerpiece.

And then, with another glance around, he bit right into that apple. Over and over again. Till it was nothing but a core. Seriously. This man sat down and ate the centerpiece.

I still can't believe it.
