When you Grow Up, No One Can Tell you Not to Play with your Food


Here is the delicous rambutan fruit after being set free from the basket.

Bite it open and pop out the fruit. It is about the shape and sliminess of an eyeball only tastier.

They are not very filling, so you can eat them like grapes.

Or you can play with them...then eat them.

Or take them home and have a fruit decorating party with your wife, Cindy (right) and roommate, Swanni (left). Then you can make marvelous things like...

Three amigos: Mickey Mouse, Don Pedro and Marvin the Martian

Weevil

Spider

Germinating Plant

Blowfish

Glyptodon

Penguin

Or even your pet dog, Dashiell

Playing with your food seem like fun? Well, get some fruit and have some fun yourself. Then please send me photos of your wonderful creations and I will post them on the blog.

Dear Mr. Lebo,
I have a group of 5th graders here for lunch. Some think that the baby lemurs are cute. Some find them disgusting because they look really exhausted with dark circles around their eyes. Antoine likes the little penguin and the three amigos.

We miss you, but now we have to go to YouTube.

Hey Mr. Lebo! I have Mrs. Schwimmer's fifth grade sitting here with me. We just looked at your fruit art and were amazed! Some of them were hilarious- the kids especially liked the penguin and the "three amigos."

Zak is interested about the plant that makes those fruits. Any other information you can share?

Alexandra P. wants to know if that fruit grows anywhere else besides Madagascar.

Julia wants to know if you found the fruit or bought it.

Alex S. wants to know if you have to be careful when picking the fruit.

Joaquin wants to know if you are having fun in Madagascar.

Daniel wants to know if you, your wife and your roommate made the fruit creations.

Hannah is wondering about some of the similarities between Princeton and your city within Madagascar.

We miss you and love seeing and reading about what you are up to while away from us!

Good morning, Mr. Lebo! Mrs. Livingston's class is here with me and they have some questions and comments for you.

Olivia H. wants to know more about the fruit dinosaur you guys created.

Jasmine says, "Nice penguin!"

Lucia likes the dinosaur the best.

Charlie wants to know if lemurs bite.

Maddie is wondering if she can find rambutan fruit in McCaffreys here in Princeton, NJ.

Kirsty is wondering if your town has any local celebrations that are different from those we celebrate here in Princeton, NJ.

We miss you, Mr. Lebo. We are looking forward to seeing your next pictures!
