Celebration: Bananas

A friend of ours told us that there is a banana disease that is threatening to wipe out all banana plants as we know them.

He said this happened one time before and the banana we eat to day is not the banana people used to eat way back when. Because that banana is EXTINCT.

He said bananas are just clones of each other so their genetic makeup is exactly the same, and this is why it's so easy to kill all of them in one fell swoop.

He knows a lot about banans because he read a whole book about them.

I hope they can make this disease go away because I like bananas. Especially with chocolate and ice cream. When we were at the store this week I made a point of buying bananas because maybe next week they will all be DEAD.
