The Art of Eating a Banana - by Sachi Oza

Amid toy rubble and while Paipi looks on from the comforts of his sun and saliva-drenched patio bed, little Sachi decided to put on a summer tutorial on the proper etiquette of banana consumption:

Break off small, easily edible bites:

 

Realize that the bite is neither small nor easily edible

Question the initial strategy:

Resignation...

Perhaps a change of clothes will assist in this situation (nope):

Strike a pose and get comfortable for the long haul:

Success!

Change clothes and repeat:

Rendezvous in DC

After speaking with him through his assigned agents (Momma and Poppa Womack), Sachi and her trusted lieutenant, Paipi, decided to hit the road and meet International Man of Mystery, Liam Womack, in our nation's capital to discuss international monetary policy, national defense and a host of other pressing matters.  The summit was hosted by none other than Auntie Anjali Dighe and was co-chaired by one, Devin "The Dude" Dighe.  Here are photographs that were permitted by the traveling press corps and a brief synopsis of their policy discussions:


With an initial focus upon the environment, Sachi and Liam headed to the Smithsonian Natural History Museum.  Little Liam was nowhere to be found, although a variety of others (stuff and real) were available for discussions:

Tough day to be a bird

After returning to The Dude's house, the two principals get acquainted over snacks

What a great four-photo series of infant politics. First up: charming your opponent with your wiles.  

Second: making your demands clear (i.e. give me that cracker).  

Third:  resorting to theft

Fourth: again with the charm offensive to make everyone feel like a winner.  Notice Liam's expression is the same as the first photo (in a word: puzzled).  

Thank god for back up crackers

 Fedoras for everyone.  Poppa Wo with his boy.  Poppa Oza with his gal.  

Womack family says "cheese."  

With the Womacks make the move to DC, the blog may be introducing a more frequent guest star in little Liam Womack, so keep any eye out for additional appearances from this master statesman.
