This evening while sharing a tray of cheesy salsa nachos I entered into a conversation with Andy about how years ago, did he remember the scientific experiment held on a group of cows who were fed cocoa beans with their usual diet to see whether they would ferment in their udders to create chocolate milk?
Quickly catching on, he embraced the joke and heartily agreed it was a great experiment. The children were fascinated. Seeing them being gullibly drawn in I then extended the story to include the cows that were found munching in a strawberry field, and how scientists were so impressed with the results of the cocoa bean batch they wondered if strawberry milk could be yielded from this group.
I was doing well, I was keeping a straight face. It was a struggle.
I crumpled when I told them the banana experiment went wrong because the cows couldn't peel them with their hooves.

This fall The Boy's class went to a dairy. During the discussion about the cows, one of the guides said that they'd just received a dozen Egg Nog cows.
The kids scoffed, but the adults asked - Where?
