Pregnancy is like fruit, right?

Pregnancy amuses me. Mainly because I'm not the one with the cramps, and heartburn, and all the delightful other symptoms that women get... but also because it's described so oddly.

My current amusement is the fetus. When you start, it's a bean... it grows to a plum... then an avocado.... then... presumably a bigger fruit. Although, if your fetus is ever described as a pineapple I'd start to worry. Why fruit? Why not bread? (Your fetus is a crouton! Your fetus is a dinner roll! Your fetus is a loaf!), why not meat? (Your fetus is a cocktail weenie! Your fetus is a steak! Your fetus is a rib roast!). That'd free up fruits for more useful descriptors. You think you've got cantaloupes up there? Well, give it a few months and you'll have watermelons!

Just... don't get pineapples, eh?
