“Mum,” Fainjin said seriously, contemplating his dinner of pasta and cheese – again. “Did you know… garlic bread is a fruit.”
I blinked. “It is?”
“Because,” he continued ponderously, “it has seeds. And the only food that has seeds is fruit.”
That settles that, then.

R was as amused as I was – and impressed by the logic.
I wonder, how does he explain vegetables? (zucchini squash is a vegetable, right?) 🙂

Vegetables? You think he would sully his palate with *vegetables*?! 😀 Technically, I think zucchini is a fruit. Fact of the week: bananas are berries. Raspberries are not.

if not zucchini, then… are pumpkin a fruit? capsicum? eggplant? My world-view is shaken…
Is that a True Fact, or a repeated one? (Hm. I think I must have forgotten loads. I do remember that tomatoes are a fruit, though…)
