To sign *grapefruit*, form your non-dominant hand into a 'C' shape and hold it in front of you with the palm facing sideways or slightly upward, representing a half grapefruit. Next, form your dominant hand into an 'A' handshape, as if holding a spoon. Bring your dominant hand down into the curve of your non-dominant hand and make a quick scooping motion, twisting your wrist upward. This action mimics digging out a section of grapefruit with a spoon to eat it.
Sign 'morning', 'eat', and then use the scooping motion of the GRAPEFRUIT sign to explain what you had.
Sign GRAPEFRUIT, then 'juice' by signing a 'J' near your mouth, followed by the sign for 'sour'.
Sign 'orange', then 'grapefruit', and use the 'which' sign to ask for their preference.
