Rule of two....bananas

A very long time ago, way before Zoey was born, Mat and I noticed something about bananas at our house. No matter how many we would buy we would always have two left over. Buy 10, 2 left over. Buy 5, 2 left over. Sometimes I would tell Mat, "Maybe we should just buy two bananas and throw them away. This seemed to continue well after Zoey and Sierra came into our lives until sometime in the last year. Now we always run out of bananas. If either of the girls wants one the other automatically wants one too. So we buy bananas all the time, making note of how they were less expensive in Florida. So what is my point to this story you ask? Well yesterday we had two very brown bananas. It made me think about the rule of twos with bananas. We have changed so much as a family, the biggest being my two little banana eaters. So instead of throwing the brown bananas away I invited my two little banana eaters to help me make banana bread. I told them how daddy loves banana bread and this would be a nice surprise for him. We love cooking together. It is hard to take turns but I have got to learn to share eventually, right? The banana bread was excellent. Sierra loved it. Zoey said it was so-so. I loved it. Mat was pleasantly surprised and loved it too. Thank you to my two little banana eating assistants.
