It would appear in our toddlers fantasy world that I have been assigned the non de plume of B2. That’s right, even in a fantasy world, I have been relegated to ’second banana’ in the Banana’s in Pyjamas dichotomy. You see she has started making up little fantasy games in which we are the two Banana’s from Banana’s in Pyjamas fame.

This ‘game’ consists of Little Miss rabbiting on in what appears to me to be nonsensical gibberish, but which I assume is her attempts at repeating large swathes of dialogue from the story cd’s she has, before she turns to me and states ‘Are you thinking what I’m thinking B2?’

The only response to this that doesn’t lead to a major hissy fit is my reply of ‘,I think I am thinking what you’re thinking B1′.

Once the appropriate call and response part of the game is done Little Miss rushes off for a few minutes before returning to wherever I am and starting all over again.

So while I clearly have no real understanding on the intricacies and subtle nuances of the game, there is one thing I really do appreciate about it - I only have one line to remember, and I can deliver that while watching the football, which means both daddy and toddler are having a good afternoon.
