Something today reminded me of the time my older brother was practicing the song Hava Nagila on his trumpet. I guess I was 9 or 10 years old. A catchy tune, that. I of course had no idea what the title meant or what the lyrics were, but when he started playing the refrain, I started bouncing around the room singing:

Have a banana
have two bananas
have three bananas
walk around the room once more!

As I recall, we both thought that was the funniest thing ever, and we laughed for what seemed like hours. It’s such a strong memory that I often smile whenever I see a banana.
