Cherry Earrings

My friend Lisa taught me to look for cherries that are joined together at the top of their stems (cherry twins are surprisingly common). Hang them over the tops of your ears so one hangs down in front of your lobe, and one in back. Try to act nonchalant. When the kids notice, say "Oh, these are just my cherry earrings.  Do you want some?"
Or, if you have raspberries, offer your kid a snack, then put one on the end of each fingertip.  It's a treat, and a manicure in one!
And don't forget the old stand-by bananaphone.  Of course, our kids think phones look like a pack of cards, but they will humor you and talk to you on their banana anyway.

Do you have any silly food tricks?
