There's a line in the Hail Mary prayer that goes "blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus." But when I was little, I thought it was "blessed is the fruit of thy ROOM, Jesus." I was a bit confused as to what the bowl of fruit Mary kept in her room had to do with anything.
