Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

That's creepy, Betsy. Hope they get you in soon and it all figured out.

I'm ok with pumpkin muffins and bready sorts of things. But I don't like pumpkin soups or pastas or that sort of thing. I'm suspicious of squash foodstuffs in general. I like yellow squash and zucchini and that's about as adventuresome as I get wrt squash.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Are squash fruit? If not, why not? Seeds on the inside, what?

If I only had a brain...

But in that case, roses are fruit.

This. Must. Stop.

No! Roses are red! The potential for confusion is endless...

Rose hips are also red, and have seeds on the inside.

I have no idea. I classify them as weird.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Aren't rose hips fruit?

Squash are definitely fruit. I think they may be technically berries, unless I'm talking out of my ass here.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

It's basically a grocer's term. It's not a technical term.

ETA: fruit is, that is.

Raspberries are technically drupes.
