Cucumber or Pickle

Ben is a big Veggie tales fan by now and as most of you probably know, Larry the Cucumber is one of the main characters. At different times in the shows, Larry is called a pickle and he takes great offense at that. I didn't realize how much this concept had sunk in for Benjamin until a couple days ago.

Ben received some play food for Christmas and it includes lots of vegetebles, including a cucumber. When Ben and I were playing one time I said something about the cucumber and he told me it wasn't a cucumber, it was a pickle.

"Why is that?" I asked.

"Because cucumbers have eyes and pickles don't."

Needless to say I was speechless.
