Okay, so this sounds dumb, but hear me out.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a weird quirk when it comes to the word banana. For some reason, my brain insists on adding an extra “na-na” at the end. So it comes out like “bananana-na.” I don’t do it to be funny it’s just how it’s always come out. I don’t even realize I’ve done it most of the time.

My wife, however, hates it. Like genuinely gets irritated every time I say it. She’s brought it up a few times, saying it makes me sound “silly on purpose” and that it's annoying, especially now that our kids (2 and 7) have picked up on it and started saying it that way too. My 7-year-old thinks it's hilarious and intentionally draws it out (“Bananana-na-na-na”), and the 2-year-old just mimics everything he hears, so now it’s basically a chorus of chaos whenever fruit is mentioned.

Now my wife wants me to “be the adult” and start correcting them, and to please just say it normally. But here’s the thing I’ve tried. I can’t. I physically struggle to say “banana” without it morphing into bananana. It's like a verbal tick or something at this point. And honestly? I think it’s kind of cute that the kids picked it up. They're not hurting anyone. They know what a banana is. It’s not like they’re gonna flunk out of school because they pronounce one fruit weird.

So I told my wife I’m not going to make a huge deal about this or reprimand the kids over something this harmless. She says I’m being stubborn and undermining her. I think she’s overreacting.

AITAH?
