          [​IMG]

          I put that pic into a Google Image Search and got these results

            When my daughter was younger and there was a childrens' class in the Village Show of 'Best Dressed Vegetable', I suggested she add the upper half of a plastic Bob the Builder stuck in the top of a tomato like this and add a pair of doll's jeans pulled halfway up the tomato. Unfortunately Mrs Scrungee vetoed the idea!

              It somehow reminds me of the baby waterhorse in the film.
