What is a persimmon?

A persimmon is a round and orangy tropical fruit. It originates from Japan. It is called "lum chee" in Chinese. There are many different kinds. Normally, they have a shiny skin and sweet, soft flesh inside.

Why am I called persimmon?

It was a nickname given to me when I was just born. My cousin says I looked like one. I don't have any resemblance to the fruit now, but I thought the name was neat, so I used it.
