I just wanted a hot dog Mom bought 150 lemons.

She randomly comes back with a butt load of food items once in a while

Any lemon recipe suggestions

\she’s 44, for people asking her age\.

Oh man. My 3 year old son is OBSESSED with lemons. If he had the ability to stock a fridge, it would look exactly like this. I keep emergency lemons on me at all times. He would loose his shit if he saw this.

My nephew (much older than three—he’s in middle school) loves lemons, too. He will eat slice after slice and just loves it. It’s so funny how everybody’s palette is different.

Also the oils in the peel react with the sun and burn the skin, i had my hands burnt with them when I was a kid. So give them fully peeled

I’d just be careful with how much he’s eating just because the acidity can erode enamel. I only know this as a fellow lemon lover who drank lemon water for a year and had to stop because my dentist could tell it was ruining my enamel and first thing he asked was if I drank lemon water or anything else that was acidic 😢

Did you only drink lemon water? I’m curious why this hasn’t happened to my mom. She has been drinking lemon water for years, but she only drinks in the morning.

Everyone’s teeth are different. Some people have stronger teeth just naturally.

Haha. I'm imagining him carrying two lemons at all times. My son carried two trains as a toddler. Whatever makes them happy (as long as it is harmless).

Please make him a lemon costume f9r Halloween. 😍

Ohhhhh a lemon for Halloween is sooo good! He was set to be a cabbage but I really like this lemon idea! The lemon thing is pretty much harmless for him… my car, not so much. Nothing like the surprise of finding a rogue lemon under the seat of your car… when it’s absolutely past its prime. 😷🤢

I'm obsessed with them as well and am jealous of that fridge. 

I bring  lemons to the restaurant in case they don't have any or are stingy with how many slices they give me.
