    When I was kid, I loved bananas, but my mom wouldn’t buy them because she felt they were too expensive, so bananas became even more rare and precious to me.

    I grew up, got my own place, and did my own grocery shopping. I remember walking through the grocery store, and passing the bananas, thing they were too expensive, but I noticed they were 69 cents a pound. That didn’t seem so much, so I weighed a few, and it was less that 2 pounds. I could buy a bunch of bananas for $1.50! That wasn’t so much!

    So I bought the bananas. That was many years ago, and I still buy bananas almost every shopping trip. That preciousness still exists though. Whenever I eat a banana, it feels like I’m eating a candy car.
