Instead, you should have stewed prunes because we love you.
Prunes are not only fun to eat but they are also highly nutritious. They have all kinds of vitamins, minerals and other stuff that is good for you.
Some mean people make fun of prunes like there is something bad or funny or silly about them. Stewed prunes are good and make you healthy and nice.
I make the stewed prunes with raisins, dried apricot and a dollop of blackberry brandy and Triple Sec. I soak the prunes, raisins and apricots for an hour. Then I stew the mixture for about two hours adding the booze slowly.
Prunes are shriveled up plums, raisins are shriveled up grapes and dried out apricots are dried out apricots. (A lot of people don’t know that.)
Prunes and raisins were invented by an ancient Greek Philosopher named Murray Prune. Murray discovered them by watching things shrivel up. (Some religious people claim that God created prunes as a matter of “Intelligent Design” instead of shriveling.)
When you soak the prunes, they swell and renew themselves. It is like a resurrection which is also used as proof of something and can be biblical.
Maybe, when you grow up you can be a Scientist and discover all kinds of wonderful things by watching them shrivel up.
Raisins are also good in oatmeal cookies. Chocolate chips help.
When your Mommy starts to feed you real food, insist on stewed prunes.
