Kathleen: Let's pretend this is magic fruit that does magical things. What would it do, Mommy, if it were magical fruit?
Me: (pause) It would make everyone happy and obedient and they would do everything the first time with me having to ask them again.

Kathleen: Sophia, what would the fruit do, if it were magical fruit?
There's nobody like a mom to ruin Let's Pretend.

I would give anything to have a piece of that magical fruit!
Dude! You spoiled the magical fruit karma!
I love your version of magical fruit!
If you really want to blow the girls' minds, buy some Synsepalum dulcificum online, a.k.a. Miracle Fruit. (You can get it in freeze-dried tablets to suck/chew). For up to about an hour afterward, sour and/or bitter things will taste sweet. The effect is most commonly demonstrated with lemons/limes, but I've heard of beer being used too.
Weird, huh?
