Peaches

Transcript of a conversation between Lauren and me this morning, on the subject of peaches:

Me: And where do peaches come from?

Lauren (in a resigned, humouring Dad voice): A can.

Me: And who put them there?

Lauren: A man. In a factory, downtown.

(Explanation: This video is what we’re talking about. What impressed me is that it’s some years since we last discussed this important issue, so I can only conclude that it is now a permanent part of her childhood.)
