NA NA
Rebecca, my 14 month old, has an obsession for bananas. Yes, the minute she sees one she wants to eat it! “NA NA, NA NA” she says, and cries if we don’t give it to her. Just the other evening while we were shopping for groceries, I made a horrible mistake by pushing her to the area where the bananas were, I said “Look, what’s that?”, and the next second there she was, armed stretched out, and insisting I get it for her. Ok ok, not wanting to create a scene I took two and let her hold it. Her face broke into a smile immediately. Wait, that’s not the end of the story. A few minutes later, after holding on to the bananas like her life depended on it, she began to realize that no one’s going to peel it for her. And what does she do? She tries to take a bite with the skin on! OMG, I immediately took the bananas away from her, another bad idea – she began to cry, this time really, really loud. Argh. Back into her hands. I thought maybe giving her something else would solve it, but no, all she wanted was the bananas. In the end, we decided to tag team – Doug took it from her, let her cry for a minute or two while I tried to get her attention on something else. Luckily, that worked.
So now whenever we go to the Supermarket, we would refer to banana as “B”.
