"Apples," said the first kid I asked. Ask her, I told him, pointing to a girl in front.
"What's your favorite fruit?" he asked her.
"Chocolate," she replied without hesitation.
"Chocolate's not a fruit," I told her.
"What is it?" she demanded.
"Chocolate is chocolate," I replied, authoritatively. "Actually I think it's a bean."
"I don't like beans," she replied. "Are tomatoes fruit? I like tomatoes."
"Well, yes they are, technically. But most people think they're vegetables."
"I don't understand," she said.
"Neither do I," I admitted. "Ask him, please."
She turned to the boy on the other side of the room.
"What's your favorite fruit?" she asked.
"Hamburgers," he replied.
