One Reason My Husband Needs Me

His inability to open and peel a banana without breaking it in half.**
I don't know how he does it, but it throws us into a fit of giggles every time.

You should witness his inability to use a pair of scissors which he says are purely the fault of the scissors in this house only.

**If you try to do this by purpose, its difficult to do so cleanly.

Tell him he had better practice.

If you want to see a child completely lose their shit, break the banana.

I wish I was kidding.

Yeah, what Sarah said. Broken banana, when you wanted a WHOLE banana? = INEDIBLE. Also TANTRUM.

And for the love of god, do not PEEL a banana that a child wanted to peel herself.

My advice? Use a paring knife to cut a small slit at the top of the banana, right where the stem meets the rest of the fruit. That will give your darling husband the ability to peel a banana like a normal person.

While I do not have children (yet), I can absolutely vouch for the ease of a kid to lose it with both the banana becoming inedible just from breaking in half AND not allowing the kid to peel it themself. Seriously- no one is kidding. He MUST practice. On the bright side, you have about two years. I can't wait for Stella to get here.
