An Unfortunate Banana Incident

Written by on March 11, 2010 in THE MADNESS OF LAURA - 20 Comments

Today was supposed to be a very different post, but this week has been swallowed up in one big gulp of the 4 year old’s chicken pox.  I’ve had two days off work, which I spent playing Mario Kart, watching Looney Tunes and ‘Sell Your Gold’ adverts with Dale Winton, all of which stopped him scratching.  We have had little sleep because he is itchy and when he is not itching he is laying like a starfish in our bed.

So today I bring you this, something that MIGHT have happened when I was off work on Tuesday on ‘pox watch’;

Yesterday I might have gone to the dining room to get a banana.

On the way to the kitchen I might have unpeeled the banana and remarked to the 4 year old ‘Ooh what a big banana’.

Once in the kitchen I might have put the banana in my mouth, to free up my hands, so that I could open the bin which is in a cupboard.

I might have then swung round to face the window, with the banana still in my mouth, to wash my hands in the sink which is under the window.

I might have then been greeted by the two workman in next doors back yard who were damp proofing the cellar, all wide eyed.

Wide eyed because they were looking at the woman next door going handsfree with a big banana.

    I bet there was more than half a banana in your gob too. Have said work men been knocking on your door then?

    I went to see a friend today and she told me that she answered the door to the postman and signed for a parcel last week with her left boob completely out. She had been breastfeeding when the doorbell went. She was mortified, but the postman called her sweetheart and has been back three times!

    Loved to have seen the look on those workmen’s faces when they saw you! A sitcom moment for sure.

    Picturing you going hands free with a banana has just made me spit on my screen.

    I think you should issue all your readers with a complimentary spray screen for their computers.

    Ha ha! Love this one… that sort of ‘incident’ is just the sort of thing that ‘might’ happen to me!

    I’d just taken a big swig of tea when you went ‘hands free’ with the banana. When the workmen saw you I was laughing so much that I couldn’t swallow the tea and had to do that funny ‘this might go two ways’ laugh with a mouthful.

    Just saying.

    Without video re-enactment footage, I cannot seem to visualize this. If you wouldn’t mind…

    Your neighbours might then have found themselves with several more workmen turning up the following morning to damp-proof their cellar…

    LOL, I was giggling even as you walked into the kitchen….one of the many reasons that I hate the window cleaner turning up unannounced!
