Appu’s mom sent him a basket of vegetables | Finicky Meaning | Learn Thr...

Appu was seated on the dining table. The servant served him a bowl of salad Appu’s mom had made. Appu lifted a slice of cucumber with the fork and instantly clipped his mouth, dropping the slice down into the bowl. He asked his mom to remove the cucumber as it was too bitter. His mom removed the cucumber slices and sent the servant with a fresh bowl. Again, Appu dug the fork into the bowl and scooped out an apple slice. He put the apple slice into his mouth and again dropped the half-eaten apple into the bowl. He asked his mom to add another fruit as apple tasted too sweet. Annoyed, his mom removed the apple slices from the salad and sent him another bowl. When Appu looked at the bowl, he instantly pushed it away. He didn’t want to eat boiled potatoes. This time, when he called his mom and asked her to change the salad bowl, his mom became furious at his finicky behavior, and instead sent him the basket of vegetables and fruits to select himself. Finicky means "fussy, not easy to please; too worried about what you eat, wear, etc."
