Protective Parent Goes Into Mom-Mode When Her Uncle Threatens to Call the Cops on Her 6-Year-Old For 'Stealing' a Banana From the Fruit Bowl

There's always a little drama at the family barbecue. No matter which way you slice those Deviled Eggs, there's going to be a cousin or a random Auntie causing a stink. In most families, there's at least one grouchy grump that's ready to ruin the entire day for everybody– in this case, over a the likes of a ripe-n-delicious banana.

After years of obligatory lunches, brunches, and holiday dinners, u/Okay-Bananas was prepared for the worst when she went to her uncles house for a summer barbecue. Knowing that her uncle (71M) was one sour pickle, OP was always careful with her words and actions, careful not to offend anyone or burn any bridges. However, her 6-year-old daughter, who was unaware of the short-tempered uncle, got caught in the crosshairs of irrational family fury. Mistakenly, she thought that the fruit bowl on the kitchen counter was up-for-grabs and she took a banana without asking…. Because why wouldn't you eat the food on the table at a barbecue?

As the little girl munched the fruit, her uncle went completely berserk, threatening to call the cops on the 'thieving brat' and losing his marbles about the lost banana. Scroll for the full story on how OP went into protective mom-mode and whisked her daughter away to safety, bringing the whole family along to back her up.
