On Veggie Tales

The 8 y.o. (watching The Pirates episode of Veggie Tales): Why doesn’t the Captain have any arms? How is he steering the ship?
The 4 y.o.: Why does the Captain wear glasses if he doesn’t have any eyes?
The 8 y.o.: Actually none of the pirates have any arms. Or hands. How is the cucumber pirate wielding a sword? How do they hold things? I don’t get it.
The 12 y.o.: And how do they speak without mouths?
The 8 y.o.: Yeah. It’s all a little strange. They’re vegetables. Vegetables don’t talk.
