Still Life with Carrot

The carrot and apple are fake. The gourd is real. After finishing this painting, I stuck the fake apple in the fruit basket with all the other apples. It looks EXACTLY like a real apple. I've tricked so many people with it.
One time it was the last thing in the fruit basket, and my sister was really excited to make a salad with apples in it, and she tried to cut it but it wouldn't cut so she came to me, is this real? I took it, I said, looks real to me...
