The Banana Swipes a Banana

Taking a cue from her big brother, The Banana snatched a banana off the edge of the kitchen counter today when I had my head turned east rather than west. I hadn’t heard from her for several minutes, and was just realizing things had been mysteriously quiet, when Sarah came leaping into the room squealing that “Hannah Banana stole a banana!” She thought this was absolutely hilarious. I padded into the living room, and didn’t see The Banana anywhere. Sarah had to lead across the room where I found my pudgy little tyke cuddled up in a tiny corner BEHIND THE COUCH (she knew just what she was doing . . . a smart little one she is) chomping on the banana as if it were an apple. She’d gone clear through the peeling, and there was a large chunk missing out of the middle of the banana.

She loves food, that Banana. Even when I put the evidence on the window sill to photograph, her little fingers were clutching for that yummy fruit.
