speaking of fruit

sometimes we buy our fruit off this guy on the main street near our condo. he's our banana source. my favorite part of buying from him is that he uses bananas for change. e.g., you buy 2 bananas, give him 10 pesos (about 30 cents), and he gives you another banana instead of a few pesos of change. if i could speak spanish (or creole perhaps, as he is haitian), perhaps i could negotiate better and say "but i only want 2 bananas". in the end, i figure why argue. it's just a few pesos and i help him sell his banana supply before it gets too ripe.
