Luke ate bananas with peanut butter, whipped cream, apple sauce and marshmallows. He ate them on his toast, stuck to pretzels at morning snack, sliced over his macaroni and cheese at lunchtime, and stacked between cookies for afternoon snack. At dinner, he wrapped spaghetti around a banana and for desert he dipped one in honey.
Luke loved bananas.
But one day, while reaching for ketchup to flavor up his favorite fruit, he noticed his fingers had turned yellow. The next day his whole arm was yellow and the day after that, he was completely yellow!
“Luke,’ cried his mother, “if you don’t stop eating bananas, you’re going to turn into one!”
“I’ll try to stop, Mom,” Luke said.
Luke tried to stop. He tried to stop thinking about how fun it was to peel open a banana and discover a tasty treat inside. He tried to stop thinking about how much better all of his food tasted with a banana.
But the more he thought about not eating bananas, the more bananas he ate.
