   Wrong. Draw a simple, sensible line quietly and early. Set a bad precedence and the next one gets worse, then the next, then the next …

   Elly should have kept a packet of banana-flavoured biscuits for just such an occasion!

   One graddaughter will not eat banana in any shape or form. She’s in her 20s now, still no to banana.

   NotNormanChubsyUbsy, that’s what motherhood does to you. You try to get on their level, and then to normal people you appear retarded.

   Good try though. Maybe the “flower” is just too pretty to eat.

    It looks like the theme for this week is “Stop whatever you are doing whenever your child wants something.”

    OK, Ellie put sugar sprinkles on the banana. Just give her the cookie!

    You do not cut bananas into little circles for little kids. The bananas act like just the right shape to form a banana plug in the child’s throat. They are slippery. Cut them up a bit more to be on the safe side.

    Nice try Mom. But it isn’t a cookie!

    My mom would have still said no and that if I didn’t want to eat the banana, then I obviously wasn’t that hungry!

    dakabn5. In response to your question “When did comics stop being JUST for entertainment where we have to critique parenting of the IMAGINARY characters?” I believe the answer is December 12, 1897, when The Katzenjammer Kids debuted in the American Humorist.

    Amen! You’d think half these people believe Elly and her kids are their relatives, and heaven help those relatives!
