The Banana Milk

My 6 year old nephew is a little cheeky fella. He can also talk non-stop for 3 hours before and after dinner about his Power Rangers. I sense that this particular trait runs in the family, especially the corny and lame things we like to indulge in. And we like to con each other.

So yesterday suddenly out of the blue he asked me ..

" Uncle, what's banana milk? "

In my usual 'trick the kids make them blur' mode, I replied :

" Oh, you know when the cows eat bananas, they produce banana flavoured milk. "

"Then what happens when the cows eat apples? "

" Oh, then the cows will produce apple flavoured milk. "

" Then Uncle, if Tigers eat Bananas, will they also have banana milk?"

" No, Tigers where got milk?"

" If Tigers got no milk, then why are the cubs sucking their mother's body??"

" Er .... "


So my little nephew then give me this ' you think you are smarter than me just because you are taller' look, and continues ...

" Uncle, what happens if the cows eat strawberries?"

" Oh, like the bananas, they will produce strawberry flavoured milk."

" Then uncle, what happens when the cows eat grass?"

" Oh, like the bananas, they willl produce grass flavoured milk."

" UNCLE YOU ARE WRONG. THEY WILL PRODUCE FRESH MILK."


We both ended up laughing and rolling on the floor.
