Apple or Pear?

Yesterday I was having a discussion with a friend- one that Maddie happened to walk in on the tail end of.

We were talking about how I am pear shaped (my waist is always- regardless of my size- a size smaller than my rear) and my friend is apple shaped.

Later in the afternoon, while on the way to dance, Maddie and I were discussing that women are either apple or pear shaped. We discussed some of the ladies we knew and if they were apple or pear.

She was quiet for a second and then she said.................

So Mom, what am I? An apple or a pear?

I laughed and said................

Oh honey, you are a still a child. You are not yet a fruit. But more than likely you will be a pear when you grow up- just like me.

She was quiet again for a bit and then said................

When I grow up, I don't want to be an apple or a pear. I want to be a banana.

I laughed and said.....................

Me too sweetie, but unfortunately- that is not an option.
Banana is not an option.
