Each morning, as I make the kid’s lunch, I tell them to eat their fruit and veggies first. According to the kids, they always do. But as I opened Scout’s backpack this morning to retrieve his lunch bag, I smelled the strong stench of a rotten banana. I asked him why he hadn’t eaten his banana, and he gave me some song and dance about why it was still in there. I told him I would give him another chance to eat his banana first.
And then I packed his lunch.
One…
Two…
Three bananas.
And that was it.
I figured that if he only had bananas to choose from, it wouldn’t be a hard decision.

After school, when I picked him up, I asked him how his lunch was. Then he started cracking up and said, “Mom! Why did you only give me bananas? I NEVER want a banana in my lunch again!”
