Tomatoes

I completely forgot to mention a rather more light-hearted discussion that I had with E yesterday - he approached me in confidence and said, rather concerned, "Mummy, tomatoes (in American accent) aren't real, are they?" After I tried to explain a number of times that it was just another way of saying 'tomatoes', he elaborated, "No, I mean those things that spin round in the sky"..... Aahhh! Tornados! I was able to reassure him that we probably wouldn't encounter one but I did laugh for a long time first...............!!
