I took the kids grocery shopping yesterday in preparation for an impending visit from my brother. One of the items on the list was “chick peas” which we (well, the Wife and I anyway) like to put on salads. The kids have seen them enough, so in a bid to keep them busy, I asked them to find the chick peas and bring back a couple of cans. The know what the can looks like, and the boy can read so I didn’t give it a second thought when they came back with 2 cans that sure looked like chick peas.

So last night, after the kids went to bed, the Wife asked me why I bought white beans.

What the hell are “white beans”? It only took a second for me to realize what had happened and I explained it as above. A simple mistake.

The Wife chuckled and explained that when she showed them to the lass and asked, the lass informed her she thought they were the chick peas. When the Wife told her that they were in fact beans, the lass gave that a couple seconds thought and then asked “Are white beans good for your heart too?”
