Plum

Yesterday Claire had a round toy on her thumb, being goofy. She said it was like the boy who pulled out a plum, so I recited the nursery rhyme (I think this is it): Little Jack Horner sat in a corner, eating his Christmas pie. He put in his thumb, and pulled out a plum, and said, "What a good boy am I!"

Claire immediately wanted to know, "Why would he say, 'What a good boy am I!'?"

So we had a little discussion about it. Her final decision-- she thought it was because his family was REALLY looking for plums.
