HOW TO GROW A PINEAPPLE

My granny decided to grow a plant 

from a pineapple top.
We said it would never root.
Well, it rooted.
Then we said it would never flower.
It flowered, not once, but twice.
We said it would never fruit.
Well, it fruited. Twice. For spite.
No idea what pollinated it.
We said the mini pineapplet would never mature.
It didn't. It withered on the vine.

Turned into a mummified pineapple.
But by then it was a standing family joke.
