*A small blue dragon named Sparky eats the grapefruit, the poppyseed, the blueberry, the cranberry, the small strawberry, and the Milky Way, waddles out of the conversation*
((You'd waddle too if you had a tail half as long as you are.))

*Sparky waddles in, eats the peanut, waddles out again, sticking her forked tongue out en route*

Great, now I'm envisioning a poppy seed the length of a city bus.
