Don't get me wrong. They don't twist or rock and roll.

My little daughter loves apples.
She asked for fruit juice for breakfast, apples for lunch and apples for dinner when she was sick.
One day, I taught her: An apple a day keeps the doctor away and told her the meaning of it.
Her big brother doesn’t like apples. He likes pears.
So, with a little bit of twist, he changed the proverb to:
“A pear a day keeps the doctor away.” And he asked: “Mummy, can I say that? Is it correct?”
Well, why not? It’s not the original but pears are good for health too and they do make one healthy, don’t they?
Then, the middle child said:
“Mummy, how about a mango a day keeps the doctor away? Mango is my favorite fruit.”
Children! They learn pretty fast!

I like Mango too... Good that your children love healthy food.
Heh, yes, I am sure pears are healthy too.. Not sure though, if a durian a day keeps the doctor away..
Chris,
Oh no, they love titbits too although they know it's not healthy.
LB,
LOL, well, we don't get durians everyday no matter how much we love durians.
I love mangoes... mangoes in anything. puddings, salad, cakes, icecream.
both my girls love the Fuji Apples and these days the ones from china are really large and cheap. about $2.10 for 5, i buy them almost every two days because they can just eat an apple each a day. they used to ask for the mcDonalds apple in the bag but i find those too expensive.. more than $2 a bag or something like that. so cutting the apples into thin slices makes them happy!
good that they love to eat fruits.
hehehe!mango a day?no!no!:)we eat apples everyday too.
