Untitled Event

i

Get a lemon.
Gather a group of people           (sit in a circle).
Pass the lemon around               (take your time).

After everyone has held the lemon, count to three.
Everyone at once: describe the lemon in a single word.

ii

Get a knife.
Cut the lemon into wedges, a wedge for every person.
Everyone at once: suck on your wedge—look at one another’s faces.
