This Volcano is Bananas... b-a-n-a-n-a-s

During the lecture today, I mentioned that rocks from volcanic eruptions contain potassium and phosphorus, which makes the resulting soil good for farming.
Kid:  What's potassium?
Me:  It's an element -- it's pretty good for you, in fact.  You can get potassium from bananas.
Kid:  So wait, there are bananas in volcanos?
Me: ::facepalm::
