I went grocery shopping. This was what Gary said when he came in later:
[GRUMP grump] "...Stock market" [Grump GRUMP]"...McCain" [grump] "- Eeee! Itty-bitty bananas!"
Then he did a little dance.
He hasn't actually eaten one yet.
So, if the election and other world events are weighing heavily on you or someone you know, go get some Wee Mini Bananas at Schnucks.
HA HA! Thanks for the laugh. Good thing they were just a bit too big to stuff up his nostrils, or nobody would be eating them.

Gotta love Gary! These are blackmail pics....

These tiny bananas are not delicious. I too was mislead by their cuteness.

Hee! I love Gary.
And, now I have a sudden urge to make banana bread...

I did buy a baby cucumber. I'm hoping it doesn't taste like a pickle!

Earring bananas suit Gary. Sort of like the frill on one of those dancing lizards (Gilla monster?)

ha! I have purchased those before, and my kids loved them. For the record, they taste just like regular bananas, I think.

Mmmmm banana bread (wee banana bread?)

#0.75, baby cucumbers are so good! They are sweeter as compared to the larger, adult sized cucumbers. They are good with cream cheese smothered all over them.

Gary is awesome. I for one would like to see him hold them up to his face like eyebrows and a 'stache.

My grandson loves those little bananas. They're so cute. :)

Er, #1, anything is good with cream cheese slathered all over it. Maybe even beets.

They are cute....but they kinda look like chubby little fingers. I don't know if I could get on board with the actual consumption of wee bananas!

These pictures make me want to give Gary a hug. He just looks so joyful. Bonus points for the S&D shirt.

Big Dot - How could I miss that? I am clearly not a photographer.
Abby - Neh - he puts underwear on his head whenever he gets a chance.
"" ("?") - Well, Gary's response was to spit it out and gag "Gah! I feel like I just ate a banana turd."
Mary - I had that urge too.
.75 - Even Gary with his delicate tastes loves the baby cuc.
Sherri - They are fetching!
Jenny - Well, I thought so too. I didn't gag at all, not like Gary.
Jhianna - Wee banana bread. Wouldn't each of these be half a 'naner? In those tea loaf pans.
Friend #1 - But the skins are tougher, that's what I dont like.
Catherine - Yes! I read him your comment and he almost got up and posed right then.
Ajooja - When you see him, does it look to scale? Is there a photo of him in a tiny car eating a tiny banana?
Becs - No beets. I've never even tried beets. And I've tried brains.
Erin G - I seems they they could make a wee banana split, too. That would be cute. Could you eat that?

Friend #1 and Queen - Thanks for the encouragement. The whole cream cheese thing sounds delicious. Friend #1 DOES always have good food at her house!!!
Posted by: #0.75 | October 31, 2008 at 08:05 AM
.75 - Yes, she does!
Posted by: TheQueen | November 01, 2008 at 11:36 PM
ERIN! - This is what happens when you comment while I'm typing my comment. I was wondering if anyone would spot the shirt!
