Orange

For lunch yesterday we had cucumbers, green peppers, carrots, mushrooms (with Ranch), cheese and crackers, oranges and grapes. All of the kids were commenting about all of the colors on their plates.
Harrison asked "Mom, are oranges called oranges because they are orange? Or is orange called orange because oranges are orange?" Caleb said "I don't like oranges." Lundi said "I think that the color came first, then they named the fruit." Then I asked Lauren "What is another kind of fruit that is orange, Lauren?" Her reply "Um.......a whole bunch of oranges!" Then she laughed at her own clever-ness.
Smart girl.
