On our stall at the car boot sale were three glass ornaments, one of them a pear and two of them apples. They used to have maggots in them, but sadly the maggots all broke or got lost. But the glass fruit was rather attractive and soon sold.
Smudgelet (holding up the glass pear): Is this supposed to be a pear?
Uncle J and Mum simultaneously, from opposite ends of the stall: No, there's only one.
Passersby begin to crease up with laughter as the comment clearly goes straight over the Smudgelet's head.
Smudgelet (holding up one of the apples): But what about this? This looks like a piece of fruit too. Is this an apple?
Uncle J and Mum simultaneously, from opposite ends of the stall: No, that one is definitely half of a pair.
Passersby complete their creasing up with laughter, partly because of the stereo effect of the replies and mainly because it all continues to go straight over the Smudgelet's head.
