I was standing in the hallway during a passing period, as usual.
As a student walks by, she says, Hey Miss O'Brien, I like your scarf.
I reply with the typical, thanks.
Student: It looks like fruit.
Me: What? What fruit does it look like?
Student: It looks like a bunch of grapes hanging from a vine.
A little while later I walked into the classroom next door, where this student is in class.
Student: Mr. Shaw, doesn't Miss O'Brien's scarf look like a bunch of grapes hanging down from a vine?
Mr. Shaw: Uhhh...It looks like something that rhymes with grapes....maybe drapes.
Student: I think mine was a better compliment.

I agree with Mr. Shaw. Definitely drapes.
