Without Children, I Would Run Out of Things to Blog About

I'm changing Mariska's poopy nappy and she is covering her eyes.

ME: Why are you covering your eyes?

MARISKA: It's too gross to look.

What makes her think I want to look at it???

Last week I bought a bunch of six bananas. I put them in the fruit bowl on the counter and started doing the laundry and various other household chores. Later that day, I want a banana, but I can't find them. They are no longer in the fruit bowl. I'm pretty sure I put them in the fruit bowl, but I check the pantry, the fridge, and even the car. No bananas.

ME: Katriana, have you seen the bananas?

KATRIANA: Yep.

ME: Where did you see them?

KATRIANA: Mariska ate them.

ME: ALL OF THEM?????

KATRIANA: Yep.

ME: You didn't STOP her?

KATRIANA: Nope, I did peel them for her though!

I explained that next time Mariska goes on a fruit binge, to LET ME KNOW. After I found out that my 3 year old had consumed six entire bananas, I was worried it might make her really ill and started googling things like "banana overdose" and "banana poisoning." I did discover that too many bananas might constipate you. Mariska has been, um, full of it lately, so I was looking forward to a reprieve from the 4+ poops a day. Unfortunately, that little
side effect never occurred.

I DID peel them for her though! How nice of her. Ha! I can't imagine any of mine liking bananas enough to eat 6 of them! WOW.

Wow that's a lot of bananas. She definitely go her share of potassium.

No Way! That is such a funny story. I am still smiling! Too bad the 6 bananas couldn't have given you a bit of a reprieve from all that poop!

Her body must have been telling her that she was potassium deficient. But would it tell her to eat them ALL!?! Josh has been tummy sick all day along with the runs and I realized, that all he ate yesterday were bananas and juice- maybe he did have banana poisoning...

Bobbie had to ask me if I was going to laugh so hard I'd cry, by the time I got to the part about google searching... that's beautiful.
I've always maintained that Mariska is definitely into extremes. If the icy hot incident wasn't proof enough, I think the bananas provide backup evidence.
