Cool Beans!

My boys like green beans. They like the "french cut", "kitchen cut", and "italian" versions best. They like green bean casserole. They like them warm from the stove-top and even cold from the 'fridge (left-overs). Nathan, however, does not like "school beans". I'm assuming that we're talking about baked beans or some other non-green beans. I asked him what he ate for lunch the other day when I picked him up. He told me he had two hot-dogs. I asked him if he had any vegetables. He said he didn't, because he doesn't like the "school beans". "School beans?" I asked. "Yeah, I don't like those 'school beans'. I just like 'home beans'." I laughed to myself and said in my best "inner-city" vernacular, "YO! Whassup, home-beans?!" I turned around to see both boys staring at me with the "Daddy-is-a-strange-and-peculiar-man" look on their faces. "Yep," I thought to myself, "I'm gonna be getting that look from them regularly for the rest of my days." (I'd like to personally thank my own Dad for that!)
