Meal times around here and our question about "What's to eat?" and the answers Mom gives contain some humor. Here is how the usual conversation goes:
Mom, would you like to have breakfast?
"What have you got?"
Well, you can have eggs, toast, high-fiber cereal, oatmeal, some coffee...
"Do you have bananas?"
Yes
"That's good. Do you have prunes, whole prunes?"
No, we don't have prunes.
"Hmmmm, let me think about that."
Twenty minutes later: Hey, Mom would you like some banana?
"Banana? I don't think so they tend to bind me up. No whole prunes huh?"
No, but we do have prune juice.
"Prune juice. Hmmmm...let me think about that."
And...so it goes.
