Mom likes bananas. She eats them all the time. I have to keep them put up because she’ll eat them all day and if they are out of sight, they are out of mind. In her case, they don’t have to be completely out of sight. Just kind of ‘put up’. I was out running errands today and was only gone about an hour and a half. When I got home, Mom was sitting at her usual place at the kitchen table. I noticed two bananas on the cabinet, so I ask her, “Mom, have you been eating bananas?”
She wheeled around real quick and said, “I had one.”
“You and I bought eight at the store just yesterday and there are only two left.” (Stan took one to work).
“I might have eaten two,” she said. Very definitively, I might add. I didn’t want to agitate her so I said, “I don’t care if you eat them, but if you eat too many you might get diarrhea.” That made her laugh.
Then, about three minutes later, she said, “If I only ate two, who do you suppose ate the rest?”
