Small fry has a thing about eating watermelon with the seeds in it. We're not talking about the big brown/black seeds but the small unobtrusive little white ones where you can just bite through them or swallow them whole; she'll insist on having me take them out before she eats the watermelon slice.
Not wanting to have to fuss over it, and knowing how much she likes Totoro and growing trees, this is what I told her:
"Babe, these seeds can be eaten. You know why?"
Small fry looks curious.
"You know, when you eat these seeds, then maybe a tree will grow out of the top of your head, like Totoro growing the trees! You like growing trees like Totoro, right? So if you eat these seeds, then you could have a big tree growing right out of your head! Isn't that nice?"
Small fry promptly ate the watermelon slice, seeds and all.
HAHAHAHAHAH!! I'm a genius!
