(My family is eating dinner together. One dish is string beans.)
Me: “Ah, beans. A magical fruit!”
Mom: *laughing* “The more you eat, the more you TOOT!”
Me: “Seriously, mom, you’d never heard that?”
Mom: “Heard what?”
(My three siblings and I quickly grab eye contact, and then burst into song at the same time.)
Siblings & Me: “Beans, beans, a magical fruit! The more you eat, the more you toot! The more you toot, the better you feel. So eat your beans at every meal!”
(Apparently my mother had never heard that particular rhyme before. She just thought she was being very clever and original with her own line. She couldn’t stop laughing after hearing us ramble off the song.)
