What is it?

I can't relax. I don't usually watch much T.V. but while at the hospital more than not in the last month I have seen enough to last a lifetime. I think that is because they really don't have many channels and the ones Aunt Sue choose were very violent or sad. I cried a few times and went for walks in the hospital. She is into the Animal Planet and the abuse is just horrid. My question is "what kind of fruit is that green fruit of the loom guy?" There is the apple and the 2 colors of grapes but what is he? Is he really a fruit? He looks like spinach- which is a veggie-- right? Aunt Sue is finally feeling better after a blood clot scare. Now my mom is on her 3 day in the hospital but to far away for me to sit with her there. That is because she is stubborn and will not move closer to us-- we offer all the time. That has not stopped her from having her friends call and guilt me. They all say including her "get rid of Aunt Sue and take care of your mom". The real sad part is how much Aunt Sue loves my mom. She prays for her and her cousin Al every night. She just adores them. When people say get rid of her-- it is very offensive to me. We adopted Aunt Sue, I happen to love her and we really treasure her in our lives. I am more than happy to take care of both my mom and Aunt Sue but not at a 5 hour distance. We tried living where she lives and we didn't make enough money. My brother doesn't get guilt calls and he moved to corn land. I'm sure they mean well but I wish I could disappear with Aunt Sue and Scott for a few years and live on a tropical island or in the mountains with no contact from well wishers. I love my mom but I think she needs to move closer so we can help take care of her. So if I could just know if that green thingy is really a fruit I just know I would sleep well tonight:)

Heres your answer missy - in case the link doesn't work - they are gooseberries. At least you know you are not the only one who asked, must have been plenty to warrent the question in wikipedia!

I didn't read on so here is the answer in complete detail from wikipedia:

"Fruit of the Loom Characters
There are four fruits. The 1893-developed logo includes:


Purple grapes

Green grapes

Apple

Gooseberries or currants (according to the dictionary, they are the same thing, or at least both belong to the bush genus "ribes")
In addition to the fruit, on the commercials, there is a character who appears to be a bunch of leaves, which matches with the leaves accompanying the fruit on the logo. These leaves look the most like tobacco leaves in real life, but some assert that they are fig leaves, which traditionally cover the same area of the body as Fruit of the Loom products do. The company only says that they are leaves. "

THANKS!!! It seems like they should have berries on him but perhaps it starts out really leafy. I was starting to think maybe a fig-- I've never seen one in real life but I know they have leaves:) Thanks Megan:)

I hope that really is what the green thingy is. I hope you are sleeping better. And just follow your heart about taking care of Aunt Sue, you are the one who has to follow your heart and speak to Heavenly Father in the end. What lucky people in your life that they have you to love them and love you back
