If your neighbor supplies you with boxes and boxes of red ripe strawberries...Unless you know you are going to be able to deliver them that very day...
Don't dip them in chocolate in order to Thank all the very best teacher's that have been helping your children all year...
Because when you wake up the next morning, ready to wrap them, the ones that aren't molding, and oozing, and separating from their chocolate skins, will be sweating profusely, and when you take them out of the refrigerator after trying to reset them, the chocolate will have separated and be utterly inedible.
These are the things we learn.
On the other hand, it will give you the opportunity to take your 3 year old out to breakfast where you can laugh hysterically about the disgusting fruits of your labors, while buying a replacement apple pie.

And for the record... the flash on the camera gave them even more life than they had by the time that last picture was taken. They were dark, and scary, and even the members of my family who were clamoring to eat them last night, wouldn't touch them.
Sigh.
Well, I was just going to say that maybe they still tasted good but I guess not. Oh well, its the thought that counts.
Darn! But now I have a new line: "I ate your thank you gift last night because it would have been gross by the time it got to you today. You're welcome."
Major bummer! I'm surprised they would have gone bad so quickly! Sounds exactly like the kind of thing that would happen to me.
oh no !!! I hate it when good plans go wrong!
Ahhh, and these are the things we learn from you, rather than having to experience them ourselves. Thanks.
I'm sorry but I might have eaten then anyway. Mold or not, chocolate is chocolate.
ARGH! At least you laughed. Durn strawberries.
Bummer!! That was a really nice idea though.
