Don’t Upset The Apple Cart
(My mom is visiting for the first time in several years, and comments repeatedly on how similar she, my daughter, and I are.)
Mom: *to my daughter* “Well, THAT apple didn’t fall far from the tree. Did you, honey?”
Daughter: “No! I don’t want to be an apple!”
Mom: “All right, but you are a lot like your mom and me. What do you want to be?”
Daughter: “I’m a PINEAPPLE!”
