In the navy beans?

My 3 year old son Robert invented a new game that would make any accountant giddy as a schoolgirl. In fact all the kids will want this game for their birthday, bar mitzvah, or Christmas. What is this exciting new game? I call it navy bean counter.

I made the mistake of going to the bathroom and hoping Mr. Rogers would hold my son’s attention long enough to prevent him from indulging in his favorite pastime, making a giant mess. I had just began my bathroom duties (pun intended) when I heard a noise that sound like 1,000 Lego’s being poured onto the floor. This concerned me because I don’t think we have any Lego’s. I finished as quickly as I could ran out of the bathroom and there my son sat in the navy beans.

He started picking the navy beans up one by one and putting them back into the bowl they had been sitting in and while he did this he counted out loud. 1 navy bean…2 navy beans…3 navy beans…hahaha! I asked him what he was doing and he said, “I’m counting the beans.” This kid has a CPA certificate in his future. I then asked him why he was counting the beans and he said, “Because I don’t have anymore Hot Wheels.” Now this was a slight exaggeration on his part, but what do you expect from a 3 year old? He does have a few Hot Wheels left, most without tires, as he likes to pretend he works at a tire store and rips the wheels off the cars.

I quickly picked up the navy beans and he gave me the big eyed Bambi look and asked, “Will you buy me a car?” I would love to buy him some Hot Wheels, but the problem is we don’t get paid for another week and we spent the last of our money on food and gas (check was kinda small this week due to work giving everyone including my wife 3 days off without pay.) So I thought why not give it a try and see if one of the visitors here at Passionate America might be able to help out and donate enough money to buy a Hot Wheel.

Make a 3 year old happy and save the navy beans all at the same time. Simply click on the button below and donate a few dollar to the Buy my son a Hot Wheel fund. All proceeds donated will go to increasing my son’s collection of painful when stepped on little toys and who knows the car you purchase might just be the one that causes me to slip and crack my head open.

Since Bill titled the post as he did, and seeing as he was “IN THE NAVY”, a video tribute to Billy Boy!
