The World Through New Eyes

So today my cousin was showing me a Silly Band, which is one of those rubber bands that makes shapes and and creatures and all of that jazz.
To me it seemed like a plain green oval.
She asked me what I saw, and I told her just that; it was a plain green oval.

I was then instructed to pay close attention.
She held it upright and said, "Pickle"
and then turned it upside down and said, "Cucumber".

The sad part is?
I totally see it now as a pickle/cucumber rather than a plain green oval. I wonder if this is because it actually looks like a pickle/cucumber or just because that's what she told me it's supposed to be.

It's witchcraft I tell you.

Love,
