Something small and brown caught my eye as I sat on my couch one day this week. My first thought was SPIDER! Then BEETLE. Then... Is that a jelly bean?
It was a jelly bean, medium brown with darker brown spots. I thought as I picked it up, If I didn't know better, I'd think it was a Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Bean. I knew better, because we hadn't had them in the house since... well, it was not long after we moved here, 3 years ago, and why would it have suddenly appeared on the couch after so long? Impossible.
I rolled it over in my hand, and there it was, not totally readable but easily interpretable as that little "Bertie Botts" logo.
So, what flavor is it? I mean, I've tried some of those odd flavors that weren't all that bad. Black pepper, as I recall, was actually quite delectable. But other flavors were disgustingly accurate, such as ear wax. Vomit was utterly nauseating, if that isn't redundant to say.
It has been three days now, and no one is interested in tasting it to see what dangerous concoction it is that suddenly appeared on my couch. I'm pretty sure it is dirt. Wanna try it and find out?

Brannon just read this post over my shoulder, and said, "So, what flavor was it?"
"I don't know," I said. "We threw it away."
"AWWW! I wanted to find out what flavor it was!" he wailed.
Really? The kid who won't eat most candy was going to find out what flavor it was? No, he wanted to find out through some one else's experience. And no one really wanted to eat the Every Flavor Bean that magically appeared on the couch after 3 years.
