I am right v. the Monkey way

When I was a child, starting in preschool at age three, I had several adults, mostly teachers and even two strangers scold me for peeling a banana "the wrong way" or "upside down." When asked to explain how they know which was the right way to peel a banana, I recieved a number of stupid responses.

Today, I am eating a banana and My usual way doesn't work ,so i flip the banana over and peel it that other way. I hate peeling it that other way, so I posed the question to Google, "What is the right way to peel a banana."

Apparently, there are many ways to peel a banana. I am right, because the other way is called the Monkey way. http://www.wikihow.com/Peel-a-Banana

So my way is the people way and I am right and all those nasty grown ups, my preschool and mean kindergarten teacher are bunch of monkeys.

I use a hammer to peel mine.

I wonder if the website realized that the monkey and upside-down methods are exactly the same.

And I was wondering how on earth you'd get the peel started in the first place, without a stem to hold on to? Pinch-- okay. Fingernail? EWWWWWW... having stuff under my nails gives me the heebie jeebies. No thanks. I'll stick to my monkey ways :-)
