Bananas

Me: (chewing a banana) Mama, who makes bananas?

Mama: Trees.

Me: But trees don't have hands!

Mama: That's true. But the tree makes flowers that turn into bananas.

Me: Oh.

after I go to sleep she looks up bananas on wikipedia and learns that banana trees aren't trees - they are large herbaceous flowering plants. i wonder how she'll explain that one. . . .
