When I was 3 my older sister would say weird words so she wouldn't swear. One of those was 'grape'. She and her friends said this because they wanted pluck annoying people's head off like a grape. Well, one day she was babysitting me, and she said "He is such a grape!" I went to preschool the next day and told somebody my sister said the G word. Today I have problems eating grapes.
