A few weeks ago, one of my kids insisted that I buy a HUGE bag of Red Delicious apples at Costco. He does take an apple to school nearly every day, but never has he eaten the Red Delicious kind. I tried to convince him he should get Granny Smiths or Gala or any other kind of apple we already knew he would like. But no. He's 11 years old going on 16, and there was nothing I could say to convince him he wanted anything other than the Red Delicious ...
