Straw-Berries

Matthew has been really interested lately in knowing how specific foods help our bodies, especially when it comes to fruits and vegetables. I can't decide if he's really curious or if he is trying to find a hole in my nutritional reasoning. I've had to explain the benefits of broccoli, grapes, green beans, peas, carrots, milk, apples, etc. The other day we were having strawberries with our lunch and the usual topic came up.


Matthew: Mom, what do strawberries do?

Mom: You know what Matthew, I actually don't know for sure. I know they have Vitamin C though.

Matthew: Well, I know. I think they help you to suck.

Mom: Because they are STRAW-berries?

Matthew: Yep.

Pretty good rationale, I have to admit.
