[Photo of the Week] Pickle Skins

I noticed J. nibbling at his pickles.  Here is the conversation that followed (he speaks very precisely.):

Me: J.  Whatcha doin'?

J: I am peeling my pickles.

Me: How come?

J:  I do not like the skin.

Me:  That's awesome.  May I take a picture?

J:  Oh.  Yes.  Do you like it?

Me:  Yes.  I like it very much.  It makes me happy.

J:  I can make them into the shape of an octopus if you would like it better?

Me: No thanks.  I like them just the way they are.
