I now understand why it is that I’ve loved The Gilmore Girls so much…

Snippet from a recent conversation in my life:
A: “That’s how peanuts grow.”
M: “Peanuts grow beneath?”
A: “Yeah, like potatoes.”
M: “Oh.”
A: “Where did you think peanuts came from?”
M: “…”
A: “They grow. It’s a plant.”
M: “…”
A: “Where’d you think…”
M: “I didn’t.”
A: “…”
M: “I thought they came in a can.”
A: “But they would have to be grown before they were put into the can.”
M: “They come from Mr. Planter.”

Snippet from Season 7, The Gilmore Girls:
Lorelai: “It’s like a peanut tree.”
Rori: “Peanuts don’t grow on trees, mom.”
Lorelai: “What do you mean? It doesn’t matter, anyway.”
Rori: “Peanuts grow beneath the earth.”
Lorelai: “Plants, trees, who cares, it’s all the same to me. They’re peanuts and we eat them and that’s all that matters.”
