So the other day I was at a Young Woman's activity and just having a fun conversation with the girls. We were talking about how we want one of those beach bikes, you know that have the basket on the front with the cool handle bars and then I decided to bring up the BANANA BIKE. BIG mistake.
"Oh and you know what I want to get Kadee is a banana bike would that not be so awesome." I said.
It went silent. They all just stared and my face went a little red
" um you don't know what a banana bike is do you?"
Crickets... actually one girl out of the bunch thought that she knew what a Banana Bike was, but she wasn't sure. Then here came the kicker...
"well weren't they big in like the 80's or something?"
Oh gees. Those poor girls had no idea what a banana bike was but I told them they are coming back.
The thing that gets me is that these girls wear 80's clothes, you would think they would know but they sure didn't. I had hoped to keep this embarassing experience my little secret, but I made the mistake of sharing it with my sister in law who laughed and laughed and told me I am now officially old!

LOL! Well if it makes you feel better I grew up riding a purple banana bike with a glittery seat. I am not a fan of the re-birth of the 80's fashions..it was bad enough the first time around!
That is so funny! Those girls are missing out. Banana bikes were pretty amazing!
That is hilarious, so very true, we are old...we have first-graders!!! Love tat post, Dave and I laughed....HARD! Oh, ad I love the banana boat bikes, and yes I had one!
Banana bikes go back further than the 80s my friend;) I had one in the 70's...that's right. It wasn't really mine. It was mine after it was Cindy's and then Claire's and then mine. Turquoise and glittery. (notice how it wasn't good enough for Cher though, ahem.) PS..you are NOT old!!
It's sad that we're getting old! Those were the great days though. We were lucky to have such cool stuff. I realized that I was old when my class I teach was born the year I graduated from COLLEGE!
Ha ha I had a neighbor who had a banana bike and I loved ridding it because two people could ride at the same time!
OMG that is hilarious those girls have to get more with it for sure banana bikes are the IN thing! LOL I loved my banana bike it was so fun, and the seats dont kill your bum bum like other ones do HAHA you are so funny I miss hanging with ya!:)
