This time last year, bananas were on their way out because of storm/cyclone weather in Queensland. One teacher friend said that in her class, bananas were known as 'lunchbox bling.' Then at the end of last year, the kids in my class started bringing bananas for fruit break, however I had one child come to me and ask me how to open their banana as "I've forgotten how!"
I was reminded of this tonight when I walked into the kitchen to see Illi peeling a banana with a knife! There was a stage in her life when the only fruit she would eat was bananas (back when she ate cheese sticks...now THAT was a long time ago!!) and for a while she went off bananas totally. But tonight she asked if she could have a banana off the bench...you could nearly have knocked my over with a feather! Of course I said yes, then she proceeded the almost ceremonial peeling!
There are times when I revel in the entertainment value of my kids...I guess that is one of the reasons parents everywhere persist in having them! :P
