Definitely not an avocado.

Avocados aren't fleshy with shiny leaves.

Its "Poke Weed", Phytolacca americana.

Could this be an avocado plant?!
Certainly has a tropical look to the leaves.

I think I may have tossed a avocado pit or two into compost sometime
and mixed it into the soil last fall.

Found this foot tall...weed? Seems to have magically appeared in
about 2 days. I just pulled bolted spinach from the bed on
Saturday and Monday evening and never noticed this foot-tall,
foot-wide plant was there.

Unless it is a volunteer of somethign I can't recognize.
Don't think it is an Avocado. An Avocado would not grow that much in 2
days.
