How Big is a Turnip?

At 17 weeks, our baby is as big as a turnip.  That's clear for everyone, right?  Everyone knows how big a turnip is......I'm assuming.  I have no clue how big a turnip is.  I don't remember ever seeing them in the grocery store.  (Of course, there is no reason I would ever even look for one.)  After seeing the picture (below), I don't recall EVER seeing one of those.  In fact, I would have pictured something much different than that when I pictured a turnip.  (But my knowledge of most garden vegetables is limited to what was shown on Looney Toons cartoons.)



Couldn't they select a fruit, vegetable, or something different that is roughly 5 inches? Something that maybe more universally known than a turnip?  A quick Google search resulted in this:


Isn't that much better than a turnip?
