The root (?) of all evil..........

We went to an Italian restaurant yesterday afternoon. They have all kinds of good stuff, including various veggies. I got two stuffed zucchini for dinner, while Mrs. Lime had the lasagna.

Mrs. Lime: (looking at my plate) Is that all you're going to eat?

Me: Yeah, two of these zucchini is plenty for me. I love the veggies they serve here: stuffed zucchini, stuffed eggplant, spaghetti squash......it's all good. When I was younger, we'd eat stuff like this all the time. We used to eat zucchini and eggplant pretty often.

Mrs. Lime: I guess so. You like all of those 'root' veggies.

Me: Ummmm, squash, eggplant and zucchini aren't the roots of a plant.

Mrs. Lime: (brief pause) They aren't?

Me: They all hang from the stem of the plant. They're definitely above ground.

Mrs. Lime: Oh.

Proof that Mrs. Lime's green thumb isn't exactly up to snuff.
