Banana Keeper or Dildo???



This was PoPo's idea, so you can blame him for this!!!
Okay. When my parents were visiting us in Japan, we went to the 100 Yen shop near our house. My parents wanted to get some cheap souvenirs and I just love to buy cheap crap. So, I told my parents to help me find the Banana Keeper shown here. Husband and I try to eat as much fruit as we can, so we can stay regular (that's probably more info than you wanted to know...sorry). And, I'm always finding a smashed banana in Husband's back pack. He takes bananas to work, but sometimes they get smashed and end up looking like a nasty turd. So, I remembered seeing the Banana Keeper at the 100 Yen shop and wanted to get it for Husband. It sounded like a great idea!
So, YaYa, PoPo, Jude and I headed to the 100 Yen shop to get the above mentioned item. I told PoPo to help me find the Banana Keeper, because Jude was being a stinker and YaYa was spending her time trying to keep tabs on Jude-- Jude loves to run around stores and hide...he thinks it's hilarious...I digress...sorry.
I told PoPo to look for a yellow Banana Keeper. We spent about 30 minutes looking for the damn thing, and we couldn't seem to find it. I asked the clerk, and she told me it was on another floor. So, according to PoPo, this was the biggest fucking Dollar Store he had ever been to. And, he couldn't believe he flew 4,000 miles to go to the biggest fucking Dollar Store in the world (he told me to tell you this, by the way...) So, we went up stairs and I found them. PoPo said he had seen them there earlier, but he thought they were just monster Dildos not Banana Keepers. PoPo was beside himself when he saw what we had been looking for. He laughed as hard as a chunky, little, red-faced Mexican can. He thought it was the funniest thing he had ever seen. He totally made a scene with the Dildo, I mean Banana Keeper. So, there they were, my parents, in the land of the rising sun...4,000 miles away from Texas, in a foreign land...in the biggest freaking Dollar Store on the planet buying a giant, yellow Dildo...it was a classic moment....one that my father insisted I share with you. I know, my entire family is sick and demented...sorry! But keep in mind, I am a product of their loins, so what did you expect?!


(I told Husband to hold the Banana Keepers so I could take a picture. He agreed to take the photo only if I let him hide his face--he was too embarrassed to be seen with them.)


(Needless to say, because of the way they look, Husband refuses to take the giant, yellow Dildos, I mean Banana Keepers to work. He says he'll be made fun of until the day he dies if he is seen with them.)


(By the way, when I was taking Husband's picture with them this morning, Jude stole one and was running around the apartment with it. Then, for no apparent reason, he put it in between his legs and pretended to be shooting with it. It was the funniest thing ever. I took pictures, but Husband refuses to let me post them on the blog.)


Just another day in Weenie's World!
