Ed doesn't like apple skins and this is his way of avoiding them. I think he finds them as repulsive as an orange skin. I remember watching him do it when we went to the pumpkin patch and I thought, "Why DOES he do that? None of us do it." I then glanced up and sitting there on the bench nibbling on an apple was Grandpa Ed doing the exact same skinless thing. The truly odd thing about it is that little Ed did it even before meeting his grandpa-like when he was 18 months old or something. I tried to catch them together eating their apples skinless but I wasn't quick enough. Is this a genetic trait? It must have skipped a generation because I have never seen Mark do it.
