Bananas

Gabi HATES bananas. And my mother-in-law keeps trying to get her to eat them. Apparently they will make her grow strong, or something like that. I wasn´t able to understand the complete explanation she gave for why it´s so gosh darn important for Gabi to eat bananas. But it was very animated, so bananas must be close to her heart.

Gabi just came into the bathroom while I was blowdrying my hair to tell me something very important.

Gabi: Mommy! I have something VERY important to tell you!

Me: What is it?

Gabi: You don´t spit out the things that you DO like. You only spit out the things that you don´t like!

Me: Did you eat something you liked?

Gabi: No, it was something I DIDN´T like!

Me: Is your grandma trying to feed you bananas again?

Gabi, with a big sigh: Yes. I don´t LIKE bananas, even when they are in chocolate. I just don´t like them!

Me: Don´t worry, sweetheart. Just keep saying Nao Obrigada when she offers them. You don´t have to eat them.

Gabi: Thanks, mommy. I DO like bananas when they´re watermelon, though. I LOVE watermelon!

And off she skipped to go get some watermelon.

  2. If it were acceptable to spoon-feed adults, my sogra would force feed me at every meal we have together because she thinks I don't eat enough. Poor Gabi.

  4. I mean really...if you are going to do bananas and chocolate...you definitely need to add the ice cream and whipped cream and make it an official banana split!
