Banana Poop

I made an important discovery today. It seems that the little black stringy things I found in Samantha's poopy diaper are in fact what bananas look like coming out "the other end". I've got to say until I figured that out I was worried that my baby was infected with some alien form of stringy black worms.
Why do they not tell you these things when you take your baby home from the hospital? That seems like an easy thing to warn new parents about, and it definitely would have helped to avoid some unnecessary worrying on my part.
I'm going to go do some research to find out what other lovely surprises my daughter's bottom will be presenting me every time she experiences a new food.
