- Moo: it's a pip. It's a kind of seed.
- Jo: why?
- Me: it's how you grow things. If you want to grow a new thing, you need seeds.
- Jo: why?
- Me: you put it in the ground and give it water and keep it warm, and if you're lucky, it will make a new tree, or flower, or vegetable.
- Jo: why?
- Me: because that's how evolution and God made things
- Me (aside to Moo): well, it worked last time
- Jo: why?
- Moo smirks

- Jo: Amen.

- Moo: it's a pip. It's a kind of seed.
