Very clever and nutritious too.

Fiber and taste and Bean-o!

Id say your wife was passing on the beans for a reason.

My Grandpa was a quiet and mellow man. But one time he recited this for me. I had never heard it before.

Beans, beans, the magical fruit. The more you eat, the more you toot. The more you toot, the better you feel. Beans, beans for every meal!

Thanks for the reminder. I’m thankful I knew him.

And you’ll be in a room all by yourself!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

is it laura who wants to donate the beans or the rest of the family ?

I like the shared moment in panel 4 between daughter and dad. Very cute.

Beans contain a sugar that our biochemistry is inadequate to metabolyze.

Heh… I remember that beans poem from my own childhood. We said the last line differently though.

Beans, beans the magical fruit. The more you eat, the more you toot. The more you toot, the better you feel Let’s have beans for every meal.

My memory has the lyrics as, “…”the musical fruit…” That enhances the “toot” line.

I remember the last line as: And then you’re ready for another meal of—Beans, Beans etc.

Guaranteed to drive any parent wild with repitition.

Well, I think I’ve learned enough versions today.

This is my pick of the week as best strip.
