Couldn’t possilby think of a title for this story…..

Baked beans. My oldest son loves to have baked beans as a snack. Don’t ask me why, but I figure they are a good source of protein for a football growing boy, so I don’t complain.

Well until now.

I came home from work and oldest son and middle son ran outside to toss the football around before we had to leave again. He was outside only a total of 30 mins at the most. I left home to run youngest son to his tutoring lesson which is approximately 15 miles away. We were stopped at a stop light getting ready to turn left and arrive at the tutoring place. When suddenly a lady in the car behind me runs out of her car and motions for me to roll my window down.

Now I don’t know about you but in that split second I think

a. I could ignore her because she is probably crazy.
b. I don’t have any money to give away if that is what she wants.

But curiosity got the best of me and I rolled my window down and she yelled at me…

“You have a cereal bowl on the bumper of your car.”

I could not even comprehend what she was telling me, so I said in a kind of surprised tone, “WHAT!! ARE YOU SAYING?”

She said:

“You have a cereal bowl on the bumper of your car!” So I placed my car in park and proceeded to get out of my car; the lady ran behind my car and got the cereal bowl that was on my car.

It was indeed MY cereal bowl, and you would never guess what it was filled with. You got it…BAKED BEANS! I guess oldest son was having a snack while playing football outside with his brother. I should be proud of his multitasking skills, but in reality I am NOT!

I somehow managed to drive almost 15 miles down busy roads with a cereal bowl filled with baked beans sitting on the bumper of my car!!! I could not believe it.

Oh you better believe I got on my cell phone and called my oldest son and I said something to the affect:

“Do you want to know why I was just pulled over!!!” (Ok in reality I was sitting at a stop light, but I was so mad)

I have stinkin’ BEANS on my bumper!!!

“Um, sorry Mom.”

Now how would you title that story??

Can I just tell you how happy I am ……..

SCHOOL HAS BEGUN!!!!
