A banana, a swamp, an afro
Were these purposely meant to have sexual connotations?
shareHow do they have sexual connotations? Besides the banana, which obviously looked like a banana?

A swamp = any number of things!

I thought that in the scene the man expected her to come up with macabre interpretations, which would point to her being obviously troubled. Instead she said very obscure, unusual and somewhat whimsical answers...clearly confusing the doctor.
Me too, a bat, a butterfly and a vagina - just a funny thought, cause it looked like nothing else and it was a psychiatrist's office after all..
And I agree on the doctor's expectations, although I wouldn't say her answers were obscure - maybe in relation to the expectations. Rather, they were "normal", childlike and - nothing special, making them whimsical, as you said, because such simple answers were not expected.
I saw a bat, a pelvis, and a bush.
