Tricky garden theft.

The other week I was having dinner with my one (half British) (half Sudanese) friend (the brother of the brother-sister pair), and he was like, "Do you want a salad?", and when I said "Yes," he was like, "Well, let's go to the garden and get some lettuce," and then we both decamped to go off to a few blocks away, where there's the urban garden plot that he had signed up for and is growing this year.

He started at his plot, and he was picking leaves from a couple different varieties of lettuce, pausing to pick off some stems where they were going to go start to flower, since that ruins the taste, he was saying.

Then, he went over to the other beds that weren't his, and he began picking a single leaf off of each different head of lettuce, to add to the variety of our greens, but so that way the owners of those lettuce heads would never know that anything was ever taken.

Very tricky!

I wonder how he came up with that idea.
