Banana Ettiquite

Jaws is screaming for a banana. She can see it in front of her, but it's just out of her reach. Thank goodness, because if she got ahold of it she would soon be wearing banana copiously and her clothes would then need to be changed for the second time today.

I reach over and take a fork. With the end of it, I slice off a few more chunks of banana and pass them to jaws. She immediately grabs them and shoves them in her mouth.

I turn back to the screen, trying to find a clever thing to say in this post. Loli taps on my arm. "Mama," she says, her blue eyes stern. She hands me the gooey fork.

"This isn't a knife."
