Not really my own, but I witnessed it first hand. :-)
I was in the produce section at the grocery store and I overheard this family (Mom, Dad, son - about 10 or 11, and daughter about 6). The mom told the little girl to put something down and when I looked up, the little boy was eyeing the eggplant his sister was holding. He asked his mom what it was and she casually replied "It's an eggplant." The boy got this REALLY confused look on his face and then asked his mom "It makes eggs?!?" I just smirked at the mom (and she at me) when she saw me listening to the conversation.
