Stories about Bananas

Bananas are a curious creature. They have that sunshine-yellow skin that just makes everyone smile. There is  a reason the 1990s children television show was BANANAS in Pajamas... instead of Oranges. It is mostly because nothing rhymes with orange. 

Stories about bananas: 

Once I was having dinner with my family. It was at a restaurant I don't really love because Mom really wanted pie, so we went on a hunt for pie. Everywhere was closed so we settled on this place. We all went through the salad bar and got what was needed... there was a chocolate pudding everyone wanted to taste. As we were eating my sister in law looked up and said "YUCK it's a banana!"  my response? "A banana in the chocolate pudding?!... like a surprise banana?!" and she said "Yes!" And I said "well everyone knows the worst kind of banana... is a surprise banana!" 

SURPRISE BANANA

Yesterday as I was peeling the creamy delicious sun-skin covered fruit and I took that first bite, you know the one. The bite that is like... "Yes this banana is perfect! Thank you banana!" and then I got a call at work so I set it down. The pale body of the banana was resting on the sprawled out tentacles that are its peel. The call was complete and I grabbed my tasty friend to have another bite. To my surprise, however, he jumped from my hand and before I could catch him... landed on the pits of doom known as my office floor. :( Sad Banana. There are theories going around... why did the banana jump? Was it because he had just had it, and was done with hanging out all the time in his bright yellow suit? Was it because he knew his fate to be eaten and would rather try his hand at the dump? Or, was he just the adventurous type of banana (we all know the type).... 

What are your thoughts? 

Have a gorgeous day!

ETA: I will be baking my SIL a delicious chocolate cake with a banana right in the center... it will rock.
