Dinnertime Conversation

We read somewhere that families are supposed to have a conversation during dinner, so we tried it. Here is how it went…
The question for everyone to answer was “What’s your favorite fruit?”
I answered “Mine’s raspberry.”
Then it was the 3-year-old’s turn. We guessed a few things, to which he shook his head no. Finally he answered “grapes“.
“What color grapes?” my wife asked.
“Green.” he said.
That went well enough. Then it was the 5-year-old’s turn. He thought, then answered “chocolate-malt berries“.
If I had known chocolate was an acceptable answer…
On another day, the 3-year-old and I had this little exchange:
“Eat your peas.”
“Those aren’t peas. They’re little grapes. They just taste like peas.”
Okay.
How is the land, is it fat or lean? Are there trees in it or not? Make an effort then to get some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes.
