Going Bananas

..... over bananas, that is. I went to visit my mom for a week and she had NO working internet and this is the first time I've had a chance to post. More on that later. And for my first post in awhile, I am choosing to talk about how awesome bananas are. As a medium, not a food, really. Get ready for this. Did you know that if you lightly write on a banana with a toothpick, over the course of a day (or night), the writing turns brown and voila, your message magically appears! One of my favorite bloggers, The Bloggess wrote about it and I just about busted a gut laughing. Oh my goodness, I can't tell you how excited I was to try this out! At first I just did a cute one for Sadie to pack in her lunch for school. Cute, but boring. Then I went out and bought bananas purely for writing on them, with no intention of actually eating them, and wrote John messages to find. Very meaningful messages.

(This pic came out bad, it reads "U R a lucky guy", "Your wife is amazing", and "The wifey needs a vacation.")

Then when I went to my mom's house, I saw she had just bought a beautiful, unblemished bunch of bananas and let me tell you, it was a hard choice to decide what to write. She is very catholic and I thought about writing things like "sinner! repent!" or "the end is near!", but in the end, I went with this.

The thing with these banana messages is that you can go in so many different directions with this! I mean, I seriously just want to hang out in Stop n' Shop, prowling around the produce section and write ridiculous messages for people to discover the next day as they are about grab a banana for a smoothie. "Eat more apples", "I'm watching you", "This doesn't make up for the cheesecake", "I'm bananas about you". I think it would make people's mornings better, to discover their secret little banana notes. Try it, it's addicting!
