Conversations with my daughter.

[rivka]

Alex: Why do we always do the same old thing? I want you to make me a fancy lunch.
Me: What did you have in mind?
Alex: A little pig that looks like it's alive and has an apple in its mouth.
Me: You're planning to eat an entire roast suckling pig for lunch?
Alex: Half. (beat) The front half.

But no apple... Joy of Cooking relates an anecdote in which the cook, misunderstanding the instructions, initially refuses, but finally resignedly marched to the table with an apple in her mouth.
