A Balanced Diet

I try to have some kind of fruit or vegetable available at every meal. Today during lunch I gave Phoebe a choice.

Me: Would you like an apple or a banana with your sandwich?

Phoebe: I don't want an apple or a banana.

Me: It's good to have fruit. Which one do you want?

Phoebe: No, I just want chocolate.

Me: Did you know that some people take an apple like this one (I held up an apple), put a stick in it, then they dip the apple in caramel (her eyes got big) and chocolate (even bigger eyes)?

Phoebe: (in hushed, reverent tones) Do you do that?

Me: No, I think it ruins the apple. I like my fruit to taste like fruit.

Phoebe: I like my fruit to taste like chocolate.
