If Jenna could eat only one food, it would be carrots, not ice cream, not chocolate cake, not even peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. She would choose carrots! She absolutely loved them. She loved the color. She loved the taste. She loved the shape and the texture too. In fact, there wasn't one thing about carrots that she didn't like. If you asked her why she loved carrots so much, she would just look surprised. If you tried to convince her that there are other foods that are just as good, she would just shake her head and explain in detail, again, why she loved carrots. And when it came to Halloween, there was nothing that compared to the sight of Jenna standing outside the neighbor's door in her bright orange carrot costume.
