You've been lying. A berry is actually a fleshy fruit that contains one just ovary and derives from a single flower.

So because strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries come from single flowers containing more than one ovary, they're aggregate fruits.

Avocados, on the other hand, are legit berries. When you mash one up to make guacamole, you could say, "Just mashing berries over here, don't mind me."
