Going bananas!

Mother sent me this email with the title: "A Banana A Day Keeps The Doctor Away".

The first sentence in the email went like this: "Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!!" The email then went on to extol the virtues of that yellow-skinned fruit.

Okaaay....

So, I saw this email after my mother burst through the door earlier on and exclaimed: "Never keep bananas in the fridge!!!"

Trying to keep my attention on Deal or No Deal on Channel 5, I asked: "Why?"

She replied: "Don't know. That's what the email I sent you said."

Hmm...

Wah Lau. Turns out she misinterpreted the email!!! The email was trying to explain why we should all eat our bananas and not keep them in cold storage (pun not intended). The point is, we can keep our bananas ANYWHERE, as long as we eat them to enjoy the benefits of the fruit!!! Oh man...

I can't imagine that my mother didn't even bother to find out the reason bananas should be kept out of the fridge!!! How can she believe the email just like that, misinterpretation aside???

Sigh...

your mum is quite cute huh. :)
but hey, it's true that you shouldnt keep bananas in the fridge, cos the fruit will decay from the inside under 8 degrees celsius.
