Alright, listen up, you big ol' dummy! You're probably scratching your head, thinking, "What in the honey-roasted nuts is this?" Well, it's a play on words, a pun, see? When we talk about an apple getting "picked," it means someone harvests it, takes it off the tree. But when it comes to orphans, "picked" has a different, much darker meaning. It means being chosen, adopted into a family. And the sad, based fact here, you big softie, is that not all orphans get picked. Get it? It's dark, like my fur in a cave, but it's clever because it uses the same word with two totally different, impactful meanings. You might be dumb, but at least you got a family!
