regular old days
i took a banana with me to work as part of my lunch yesterday.
as i finished eating it, i noticed a slightly iridescent splotch darker than the regular "getting older banana" spots. and then another. and another. and a fourth one, bigger than the others and more of a scrape than a splotch. i immediately began worrying that i'd just consumed a toxic banana. i inspected the spots more closely, holding the peel as it would've looked before i peeled it. with a giggle, i realized that one of my sisters had drawn a smiley face on the banana with a sharpie marker.
