Sometimes I cannot believe what I have said! Thinking about this this morning...
A woman at work [weird to say] really likes apples, as I do. We bonded over it, and she said she had found some good apples at a certain store and at the farmer's market. I said I'd have to look it up. She offered to get me an apple the next time she went. So, she brought me one. How nice!
I saw her a couple days later (btw this is my 'supervisor'). I thanked her again. She asked how it was, and at first I said ok, in that kind of 'it really wasn't all that great' sort of way. But then I kept talking. 'Actually, it's probably the most tasteless apple I've ever had. And not very crisp.' WTF! Why o why? She looked kind of shocked but said that next time she'd try one from the same batch. And I said I would bring her an apple.
So, I need to make up for that. My o My.

haha! My oh my :) Well, it is probably better to be honest. There is never any guarantee with fruit, that's for sure.
She will probably find it refreshing to hear something true rather than some gushing thanks being a supervisor.
What if she had gotten one too and thought it was terrible and was working up to an apology about it? Since you both like apples, you sure wouldn't want to recommend one that was not good.
"How do you like them apples?"
Well she can't blame you for being dishonest! :)
LOL Don't you just love moments like that.
"I'm talking and I can't shut up" happens to me on occasion. The good news is I scramble very well. LOL
Bring the gal an excellent apple--she'll be yours for life!
@Laura...there's such a thing as tact, and I forgot about it for a moment...
