What do you think of Mr. Peanut?

Redskin Spanish peanuts---seems like such a specific peanut to want.

"Would you like some peanuts?"

"Well, maybe...do they have red skins?"

"Uh, I don't know, I'll check. Don't most peanuts have red skins?"

"You better check."

"Okay...................................................Yes, they have red skins on them."

"Are they Spanish?"

"Gee, I really couldn't say........."

This is only my 4th post since April and my second one concerning peanuts.

But this is important, because we were looking at this peanut container and discussing Mr. Peanut, and considering his likability.  Or lack thereof. My friend said her mother could not abide by Mr. Peanut. She found him creepy.

I wondered aloud briefly whether his hoity-toity monocle and top hat were a problem for me. But then I thought, "No",  They were okay. He is a peanut. They are all he has. The only way he can rise to our level.
