Bean tree


"Daddy, apples have good sugar."

"You are correct."

"Apples are not candy.  They have sugar that's good for our bodies."

"I believe it's called fructose.  You know, if it grows on a tree, it's generally good for our bodies."

"Daddy, I'm going to plant a jellybean.  Then I'll have a jellybean tree."

"This is an inspired but ultimately flawed plan."

"When I turn 16, first I'm going to go to Target and buy some jellybeans.  Then when I plant them in the ground, a jellybean tree will grow and have jellybeans on the branches."

"And you want a jellybean tree instead of an apple tree?"

"Yes.  But Daddy?  I will not eat them until after dinner."
