Mom: Please start with your list:  Look at these tomatoes, they are so nice and red!

Emma: And I like the cucumbers, they look perfec

Mom: I'm sorry, but the eggplants don't look good, they are too soft!

Emma: The beets look good, especially if you are going to bake them. 

Mom: Not a bad idea, then I don't have to spend so much time boiling them.

Emma: I am taking a bag of carrots, and this nice bag of lettuce and cabbage.

Mom: What did we forget? 

Emma: Look here I wrote: potatoes, yams, garlic, onions, lentils, and mushrooms. 

Mom: You go ahead and put them in the cart, and I am going to the fruit section.

apples, pears, lemons and grapes.

Emma: I'm putting them all in the cart, How many apples do you want? How about seven?

Mom: Fine, and don't forget the melon for dessert. 

Emma: But you said that you would bake a cake! Why do we have to get a melon? 

Mom: It is on my diet.  I will bake the cake, but I should eat the melon instead. 

Emma: Let's go pay, this is going to be heavy to take home. 

Mom: I don't think so, most of it will go in the grocery cart.
