Does a banana really taste different if you eat it with the peeling on or off?
I opened a banana today for Saige, but apparently it was the wrong way. So she threw herself on the floor and exclaimed she was NOT eating that banana. She insisted that I open another one, which, to my demise I did. After taking the peeling off this time, she again threw herself on the floor and in tears exclaimed, "that is not how you eat a banana." I now had two full bananas on my counter and wasn't about to open a thrid. Does it really matter, I asked her. You don't even eat the peel- only the banana. We went through many different scenarios of how you could possibly eat a banana all the while she was crying and yelling. After about ten minutes of this I came to the conclusion that her banana had to be completely peeled, but not broken. Then placed back in the peel so she could hold the peel while she ate the banana. I ask again- Does a banana taste different eating it with the peeling on or off?
Chloe (aka) pumpkin pumpkin, lolie,
Chloe is 6 1/2 years old. She is in the first grade and loves to read Amelia Bedelia books. The house wouldn't run as smooth without Chloe. The other day she came in crying because her friends told her she was being bossy (what can i say...she has her mother's genes). She loves to give Randi and Captin piggy back rides on their way to bed!
Randi (aka) razzle dazzle, princess, razmatazz
Rndi is 4 1/2 and will start KIndergarten in the fall. Randi LOVES pink, barbies, and looking beautiful. She also LOVES her little sister (sometimes toooo much). Randi know's EXACTLY what she wants and will not compromise for anything less.
Captin (aka) Captin Caveman, buddy boy,
Captin is 3 1/2 and doesn't the picture say it all. He is all boy, but has a very sensitive side (probably from having three sisters). He loves playing trains and riding his bike, oh and teaching his little sister some choice sounds. He cannot stop smiliing, even when he is mad or sad. Captin sure keeps the energy alive in our home.
Saige (aka) Sagey baby- gully gully
Saige baby will be one on Friday. She is a FUN little baby. She enjoys trying to be as loud as her brother and sisters. She loves to say uh-oh and make noises while she pats her mouth. She is one baby that definately doesn't lack attention.

That was HILARIOUS! I have never thought of the process of peeling/eating a banana before - at least from a child's perspective. Gives me a whole new view. Glad to see you post again after such a long time!

Keep it up... now if we can just get daughter number one to do a blog... mom (thats me) will know more of what is going on with her 4 beautiful, talented, awesome, wonderful daughters, who are fabulous mothers and wives.
You should have Saige eat the banana with the peeling on, she might like it! I'm glad you posted, hopefully it will happen more than every two in a half years!
