Banana Splits
 |
| Amos Sewell's Banana Split |
The painting is named Banana Splits and is by Amos Sewell. It tells a story but I think the story is left up to us to figure out.
1. What do you think the man in the painting is thinking? I wonder if I can sneak a bite when she's not looking? That really looks good...I should have bought one of those for me instead of this sandwich and drink,
2. In your story what kind of sandwich and beverage is he having? Grilled Cheese and Coffee
3. Do you think he is a stranger to the children or does he know them? I think he knows them. Why do you think so? Because who else would buy these for them and not be sitting with them. I think he's probably an uncle and maybe not totally comfortable around children.
4. Do you keep ice cream at home? Yes, sometimes. We buy the Kroger brand with no sugar added. Banana splits usually have 3 or 4 scoops of ice cream. What flavor ice cream should be in your banana split? I'd rather have a cone of chocolate chip or black raspberry chip ice cream than a banana split.
These were some fun questions to answer. Thanks Annie! Click on the Banana Splits words at the top of the page to link up and play along. Hope everyone has a good day.

I didn't think of him knowing them but being uncomfortable around children. That's a great answer. Everyone said grilled cheese except me!
ReplyDeleteHe’s definitely uncomfortable around children. Perhaps the kids are smacking their lips. Or maybe he’s wishing he had ordered a banana spilt instead.
ReplyDeleteI love all of the interpretations! This was so much fun. Loved your answers! Have a wonderful week. ♥

Good interpretation. I like the idea of being an uncle not too comfortable with children. This was a fun post!
ReplyDeleteCute questions...and answers! Not a banana split fan myself, he might be wondering "are you seriously going to eat all that??" Funny:)
ReplyDeleteIt does look really good! I would say grilled cheese and coffee are right. You would think he knows them unless their mom or dad are sitting next to the boy. Your cones sound delicious.
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the reluctant uncle! I, too, would rather enjoy a single scoop. Butter pecan, please!
ReplyDeleteHmmm... a reluctant uncle is a possibility. I chose that he didn't know the children. Isn't that the great thing about art, though, that we can all tell a story about a painting and none of them have to be the same! Have a good night!!
ReplyDeleteI think he is thinking he would rather have what they are eating instead of his sandwich.
ReplyDeleteHe might be happier if he could have a bite! Sometime you have to live a little. Your answers were great and hoping your weekend will be too.
