90 cent Banana

Avery and I walk in to get coffee before her basketball practice. My attention is immediately drawn to a perfect banana sitting on a platter that seemed to be made for it. Bed Bath and Beyond would sell the plates as "Banana Platters", a four pack for 10.00.
I ask, "Is this a real banana?"
"Yes, but I've had a few other people remark about it", says the coffee lady.
I say, "It looks so perfect on the platter, propped up in the back like it's art."
She said she straightened it a minute ago and was thinking it needed a nice apple to complete the whole 'still life' art feel it was giving off.
I glanced behind me, half expecting that I was blocking a group of art students who were trying to sketch the whole thing as fast as they could.
We entertained ourselves with a few more jokes about the banana before my coffee was ready. I got a picture with my Blackberry, and really wished I was crazy enough to walk around all day with my Nikon around my neck. These are the best kind of pictures.
