I do not do the shopping, so I was surprised to find these strange bananas (the ones on the left, unless you think all bananas appear strange) sitting on the counter one day. It turns out they were pink bananas. Yes, pink, although they look kind of brownish. (Chocolate bananas, anyone?) Even when peeled, they had a pinkish tint. (See comparison to more familiar yellow bananas beside them.) They taste a little sweeter, a little squishier, but maybe that's because they were pulled from the discount bin and were on their last legs. (Do bananas have legs?)
So, lesson in imagination, if there can be pink bananas, don't you think there can be any imaginative element you'd like to create in a story that you want to write?
