Charlotte has read that pineapples are best when they are golden yellow. When she spotted this one at HyVee yesterday, Char tugged on my coat sleeve and exclaimed, "Dad! It's a perfect pineapple! We hit the pineapple jackpot!"
Charlotte found Daphne and excitedly told her about the discovery, but Mom had a hard time understanding what jackpot Charlotte was talking about. I explained that Charlotte had found a pineapple that she wanted to show her. As we turned to follow Charlotte, I leaned over Daphne's shoulder and sang,
"It's real yellow
Char says "Hello"
Come on home with me you pine fellow.*"
I don't how I came up with parody lyrics for "Bust a Move", but Daphne laughed out loud.
I was pretty proud about that.
Oh, and Charlotte was right. We had the pineapple at dinner, and I told Char it was the best one I ever had ever eaten.
She was pretty proud about that.
* Apologies to Young MC.
