speaking of bananas...

When Creed was really little, he asked me, "Mommy, what is the truth?"

"Oh," I started to reply, "the truth is...truth is...uh..." (this was going to be harder than I thought. Maybe a tangible illustration would help!)

"See the banana you have in your hand?" I asked him. He looked at it.
"If you told me that was a banana, that would be the TRUTH, because it IS a banana. If you say it's NOT a banana, that is NOT the truth."

He took this in.

"Oh!" he exclaimed, his face beaming with understanding. "YES!...the TRUTH is a BANANA!!"

It tooks us two years to undo that one.
