So, it was an assembly day today, which throws off everything. Kids are everywhere at once, or not at all, but there’s an assembly and the classes are shorter. For all that, not much happenened that was interesting.
I knew I didn’t have much lunch today–there was only a sandwich in my bag–so i took two bananas this morning, figuring the additional banana could take the place of something bad for me, like chips, or cookies, or both. My next-door teaching neighbor walked in, and because I wasn’t feeling like eating two bananas, I offered him one.
“Hey, I have two bananas. You want one?” I asked.
He said no.
I told him, “Hey, man, it’s got enough potassium to get you through the day. And I got two.”
He said, “Yeah, you got today covered for your potassium, but what about the rest of the year?”
“I’m gonna need a lot more bananas for that,” I said.
“There are not enough bananas,” he said.
