Remember last week when I posted my friend's warning about her son? Well, he struck today after karate.
My friend and I occasionally take turns driving the boys to/from karate. Today was my day to bring her son home so his grandparents could take him to dinner. Well, my friend--whom we'll call Lynda as that is her name--had already warned me about these things: Bertie Bott's Beans. I've read the Harry Potter books, I know they're gross. I just always assumed Jelly Belly used it as a marketing ploy. You know, call it booger-flavored, but actually make it popcorn-flavored.
Well, Lynda tried to tell me. But then I got to her house with her son...and he was so excited. "Jake's mom, just try one, come on Jake's mom!" Okay, okay. Really, how bad could it be?
Hmm...it could be very, very bad. So bad that I spit it out in front of Lynda's father, a man I had only just met. So bad that I opened my son's car door and yelled, "Spit! Spit!" to Jake as he turned green from his jelly bean. So bad that I found myself gagging all through dinner. Yes, it was very bad.
Sneaky boy. Anyone seen Charlie?
I feel like I can sympathize with him in some strange way tonight*.
*And I've been dying to work this into my blog since Caitlin first showed it to me.
