Here is a funny thing related to bananas:

My second-grade daughter did poorly on a recent spelling test (it was
incredibly obvious she hadn't studied--nay, hadn't *seen* the words).

example, if the mispelled word were "ornge" the teacher would have
written "orange" after it.  I about died laughing when I came to this
