I think only a papaya, mango or kiwi has a chance of inflicting collateral damage when used as a weapon. Coconuts need to be opened with chisels and hammers, that's not going to work unless you need to hit just one specific place.
Depending on what the coconut hits, and the force involved, you could get some collateral damage with the victim. That might not be right for a children's book, though.
a papaya
Gets my vote. Although, if the coconut smashes, it's comedy gold.

She's Canadian. She didn't drive me as crazy as the guy, who was so annoying I went to bed.
I generally cheer against the Americans (sorry, but it's true), but it's hard not to like Michael Phelps.
You can have him helped by friends throwing several things and make a fruit salad.
Oof today my body was not so interested in getting vertical.
I had a 6:40 request from some interns who just started on Monday. They wanted a meeting room reserved and guests entered into the system for a 9am meeting. HA! I was all, I I leave at 5pm, cannot access things from home AND you cannot do things last minute - working for them is NOT my job and yet 2 days in they are taking so much time. Ducks at my ankles!
And why are the gymnastics uniforms so sparkly? It's an athletic competition, not a My Little Pony convention.
There's drilling on the roof of my apartment building, on and off for the past 3 hours. It doesn't seem to stop.
As a result, I'm typing these words with earplugs.
It's driving me crazy.
I'm tired. I stayed up too late.
I'm afraid I may not have programmed tivo to record dressage.
Also - didn't the American women's gymnastics team just seem completely glum?
Also, facebook wouldn't add the interactive friends graphthingy for me.

That's funny, because I'm the opposite! I'm so over him. Maybe give someone else a chance?

yes, completely. Alicia looked like she wanted to hit the cameraman a couple of times after that beam routine for not getting out of her face too.
I read a blog last night of someone that seemed very knowledgeable about gymnastics and he was saying that the americans seemed like they were overtrained. i have to agree.
What does overtraining do?
