Stream of Consciousness: The Grossness of Bananas

Prompt: Write a five minute stream consciousness

The grossness in bananas
They are the most disgsusting thing I think I've ever tasted in my life
Okay, not the most disgusting, but pretty damn close
And then my mom brings home raspberry-banana cotton candy--
what's wrong with her, huh? Geez, she knows I don't eat bananas
meanie
The first time I had them was at--
daycare
horrible lady
named Kitty
grandchildren
partial to former
hated her, hated her house, hated her attitude and hated watching Blue's Clues on the TV--
stupidest little kid's how ever
Anyway, so she made me eat this slice of banana, right?
And I told her "no" cause I knew I couldn't do it
And the freaking b**ch makes me eat it anyway
Somehow, afterwards, she was surprised that I puked all over her favorite rug in the kitchen
and then I got in trouble
what the crap is that all about, huh?
Right, so they're yellow
I hate the smell
it makes me nauseous, even just a tiny whiff of it
and the texture of them in my mouth
squishy
slimy
gross
mushy
gross
did I mention gross
then again, I'm writing about the grossness of bananas, aren't I, huh?
and they're yellow
which, did I mention, is my least favorite color
it's so bright and happy and obnoxiously disgusting that I dislike it to the point of almost refusing to wear it
actually, I wore yellow yesterday, but that's beside the point, you know
so anyway, and I just can't stand them
Serena had one at lunch today
and we were talking about the shape
if you know what I'm talking about you'll know why that makes them even less appetizing than they are, ne?
so disgusting--funny--but disgusting
I wish they didn't exist
they're like this disease that becomes ubiquitous in the lunch room
a disease of yellow phallic-shaped fruit that reek to high heaven
and then people peel them and it's just
ew
ewwwwwwwwww
at least we don't have a lot at my house
mom's the only one who eats them
I wouldn't even touch them
hell, I won't even touch banana bread when my mom brings it home
and banana laffe-taffes are like a waste of perfectly good sugary confections
why would someone spoil something so amazing by flavoring it like bananas?
But I guess some people must like them--craziness, I say
I just don't understand
but you know, that's okay, as long as I never have to eat one again
You don't want to see me puke.

Note: Finite. (Is grossness even a word?)

  1. I respect your opinion, Claire. But I still like bananas. Grossness is a word though, says Firefox's spell check.

    Also, I like banana LaffyTaffy's... But whatever, respecting your opinion here. Nice ending though...aha.
