Banana Bread

I was staying at a mates place once and they used to have a possum that would visit them. When I was there the possum had a baby and we went out to feed it. The little baby possum would not let go if its mother no matter what. My mate jokingly bet me that I couldn’t get the baby possum off the mothers back. I accepted his bet and then when into the kitchen and got some banana bread that I hade made earlier that morning. I just gave the little one a whiff and he was straight off his mothers back eating out of my hand.
