Yesterday I was having a discussion with a friend- one that Maddie happened to walk in on the tail end of.
Later in the afternoon, while on the way to dance, Maddie and I were discussing that women are either apple or pear shaped. We discussed some of the ladies we knew and if they were apple or pear.
She was quiet for a second and then she said.................
So Mom, what am I? An apple or a pear?
I laughed and said................
Oh honey, you are a still a child. You are not yet a fruit. But more than likely you will be a pear when you grow up- just like me.
She was quiet again for a bit and then said................
When I grow up, I don't want to be an apple or a pear. I want to be a banana.
I laughed and said.....................
Me too sweetie, but unfortunately- that is not an option.
Banana is not an option.
PS So what about you? Are you an apple or a pear?
