Mutant Corn on the Cob

We were at a house I have never been to, for Brian's cousin Amanda's wedding. All of Brian's family was there, and we were helping them set up. Someone asked us to pick some corn for the reception and I went over to these rows of corn and picked some corn, but it looked weird. Then I picked corn from another plant, and that corn was different, even weirder. I kept picking corn and it kept looking less and less like corn. I was worried that I wasn't doing a good job helping, and also feeling rather pathetic that I couldn't manage to find the normal corn.
