This Sh is Bananas

I was pretty convinced the other morning that I had been cursed.

There was an incident with being pooped on by a bird as well as having to walk under THREE ladders to get to class.  It seemed like trouble was brewing...

But the icing on the cake was when I went to the dining hall and got a banana.  Now it is a rare occasion when the dining hall bananas are actually ripe.  So I wasn't surprised to find that most of the bananas were basically green, but there were a few that appeared mostly yellow.  Probably not ripe, but definitely edible.

Except it wasn't!  I took that first bite and it felt like eating quicksand.  I would say normal sand, but it wasn't crunchy enough.  It tasted horrible and got stuck to my teeth and the top of my mouth.  I had to use my napkin to wipe the inside of my mouth out and it took two cups of tea before things started tasting okay again.

At that moment I felt doomed.  I thought a curse had been put on me to make all my food turn to quicksand in my mouth.  (And for everyone who knows me, you know this would be  huge problem because I love food!)  But I got up like nothing happened and got a bowl of Cocoa Krispies.

I was afraid to take the first bite because my life was stuck in the balance.  That bite would either confirm my fears or prove them wrong.

But they were delicious, as were the bacon and hash browns!
