Out of the mouth of Bethers

I was making dinner one night last week.

The kids were arguing about whether corn was a fruit or a vegetable.

I was ignoring it for the most part.

Sam was trying to tell Beth that corn was a vegetable and she was insistent that it was a fruit.

So Sam then asks me to give them the correct answer.

me - "Corn is a vegetable. Sorry Beth."

With in , ummm... I don't know 1 second or so, Beth straighten her shoulders, raised her chin, donned a very haughty expression, and simply stated with a sideways glance,

"Well, that's what the Japanese called it in the old days."

She simply refuses to be out done by anyone.
