What Kind of Food Are You?

While driving the girls to school this morning, we were listening to an oldies station and a Karen Carpenter song ("Rainy Days and Mondays") came on. I turned it up and said, "I love her voice and I totally wish I could sing like her." M said, "Mmmmm. Reminds me of apple cider. All warm and spicy."

E & I laughed, and she said, "What?! People often remind me of foods."

E: "What am I, then?"
M: "You're a pineapple. That's the fanciest fruit. It's sweet and everybody likes it but if I eat too much of it, it makes my mouth hurt."

E: "What is mommy?"
M: "A strong after dinner mint. It makes all the bad tastes go away."

E: "What is daddy?"
M: "A big juicy watermelon. Messy, but really fun to eat."

E: "What is Abby?" (M's bff)
M: "She's a carmel apple. Kind of hard to explain why."

E: "What is Zeus?" (A's dog)
M: "Animals aren't food to me. Just people are food to me."

I'm still laughing...
