Peanuts
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."

The item-naming people really like to mess with our minds, I tell you. A peanut...peaNUT actually is not a nut, but a legume. They are more like peas than nuts. Why don't they call them pealegumes?
No wonder we think they grow on trees or come from Mr. Peanuthead's ass.
HA HA I LOVE the gilmore girls too!
Peanuts are legumes? Like vegetables? Cool. PEANUTHEAD is hilarious!!
I think you must be one of the most adorable people I have not yet met, Maha :)
You must be such a pleasure to be around!

This is so funny :)
I've never thought about where they come from either!! I've never had reason to.
