Quick! Someone get me a banana stat! The polar vortex is upon us… I WILL fight off cabin fever, if
it’s the last thing I do. You too, can survive this ridiculously cold weather BUT you need a banana and the wisdom I shall pass on to you. It might just save a life…
Ok, maybe that’s going a bit too far. But this will in the least, entertain you. Are you facing the freezing temperatures like I am in the Midwest? Schools are closed for the next two days. We’re catching a case of the crazies and are in desperate need of some fun and silliness.
Due to a communication error with my husband over the weekend, we some how managed to buy a combined total 44 bananas! (We’re part monkey, in case you were wondering). We also ended up with 3 rotisserie chickens and an extra package of chicken thighs. Our survival of the bitter cold will be fought with nothing more than chicken soup and bananas.
Here’s a fun trick to do the next time you reach for a banana.
Find the center of the banana. With a clean nail pucture a line across. Firmly grab on each side of the line on the banana. Riipp… All with just your bare hands….Good job…You’re an animal! Or should I say NINJA!?
Ready… set… rip!
*Disclaimer: One brave banana was sacrificed for the sake of this tutorial. But don’t worry… it’s just a banana. Rip, repeat and impress.
Ooh, and although a true Ninja is steath and silent, you really should make a deep grunt everytime you attempt this. Because grunting is funny. And silly.
And we all know silliness is good for your heart. 🙂

Glad to hear! We've been experiencing -36 degree F weather around here. Can't wait till spring… until then, let the banana massacre continue… 😉

Laura, you always give me a belly laugh. What a creative idea to do with your kids. I wish my kids were young enough to try this with them. Stay sane with those cold temperatures.
