Heleen de Vaan: Banana guard Cover

[Dean aka Artist in Seine]

You saw the banana guard, now here is the cherry on the top.  A decoration to cover the banana cover guard.As Seen on TV: For a limited time I will send you a copy of this banana guard cover for a small fee of $39.99 + 12.95 shipping.  Your friends will be amazed!  Send your cheque today!

But serious now, what a wonderful surprise from Heleen.  Originally I mentioned that if we should ever meet up, I would bring my banana guard along so that she could draw her famous illustrations on it.  Heleen quickly sent this cover to keep me happy until that famous day.  Or she sent it just to keep me quiet !

Thank you Heleen.

So how old can FinnBadger possibly be?  Like is he so old that he no longer buys green bananas? Like

(Sorry, we had American visitors and they start every sentence with "like".)  Like it really drove me nuts like.

...and that dark banana is only chemical reaction in its skin,

inside , if soft, is excellent for "smoothies",

or banana cake, etc. Yummy! EAT ART!

@ Heleen - hah, I think that's true... "Look, Mr Predator, I know I'm a bit slower than the rest of the herd because I'm old, but if you just catch up to that nice young person there you'll find much fresher meat on the bones..."

To eat or not to eat, that is the question...

@ Katerina, I still must confess that I prefer to bite in the two in front... (after peeling).

Maybe aging not only causes more wisdom but also protects us from being eaten?  :-)

Haha, thank you for posting!

To keep your quiet...? Hmm, good idea :-)  Or not: if you keep the banana inside the banana guard, which you would do more often since bananas now smile to you, you don't eat them. And keeping quiet most of the times occurs when the mouth has other tasks to do, for instance eating a banana...

Katerina, I didn't know! I prefer a little green-yellow banana, but now I''ll try the black one we have at home, too :-)

Happy bananas!

"Wisdom comes with age"...and with bananas,

brown spotted "elderly" bananas are healthier than new bananas :-)
