I don't know that the prank her brother played on her would have had the effect on me of disliking bananas. I think it might have had the effect of scaring me from slippery wet things under the sheets!!!!

I wonder if her phobia began from hearing that Harry Chapin song about the 30,000 pounds of bananas.
