Banana

Ye Olde Dad has done it yet again.  Yesterday he came home from work early because of a dental appointment.  This was great because he was instantly volunteered to distribute the afternoon snack.  The babies love bananas and cheerios.  I have found an easy way to feed banana that does not in any way, shape, or form result in me touching the banana.  (nasty).  I cut the banana in half and use a spoon to scoop out the bite size portions.  And between the three of them, they can polish off an entire banana.  Dad was unaware of this volume fact.  (please keep this handy fact for future reference).  Mary and Pia and Sam just scoot around the living room in their little walkers and take turns getting bites of the banana.  You scoop it out - baby eats it and takes off chewing.  You scoops it out - baby eats it and takes off chewing.  You get the concept?

As Dad got to the end of the first half of banana, he decided to peel back the skin and pop the small bite of remaining banana, into his mouth. Not really paying much attention to the fact that the next baby to receive that said bite of banana was none other than Samuel.  Well, Dad,

THAT...WAS...NOT...THE...RIGHT...THING...TO...DO

As parents of these triplets, we are experiencing times that you just wish you could rewind 5 seconds and have a do-over.   This was one of those times....

Samuel Elias was stuck in a moment of pure "holy shit brother WTF" shock.  It is as if everything began moving in slow motion.  He could not believe his eyes.  "My father just took the last possible bite of the banana and ate it for himself?"  Then he looks over at me.  Gives me the "Mommy?! I am not sure of what just happened but I am so devastated right now" look and his bottom lip began to tremble.  Tears began building up in his eyes.  Well at this point I am just speechless.  I could not believe DAD ate that bite either!   So - I calmly explain to father that he best start scooping banana out of the new half and he best be a-scooping fast!   It was at this moment, that I realized I did not have any camera close to capture the moment of the melt down.  It was fabulous.
