The Philosophy of Beans

The 3 Vuong ladies had a fitful of laughs this morning, it felt great to have so much fun with my mum and my sister especially since we don't really do a lot together anymore....

It all started pretty innocently... mum wanted to fill Taxi's new beanbag with beans, and that's when all the comedy started.

Did you know that styrofoam beans have a life of their own? Ever tried scooping up styrofoam beans and trying to get them inside some sort of container (ie, a beanbag perhaps)?! They can go anywhere and everywhere except where you want them to go - which funnily enough, our intention had been to get them inside the beanbag, not running all down the outside of it!

Chasing styrofoam beans around our living room, creating static as we went along, and static and beans do not mix, whilst also trying not to spill anymore beans just made our task seem even more futile, yet for some reason, this futile task was uncontrollably hilarious and yet frustrating as it was, it was also quite good for de-stressing. The more we laughed, the worse the situation became, but the less stress we carried.

Well, we ended up with a full beanbag, no beans in the living room, a good belly laugh, less stress than we started with and some mother/daughter/sister bonding all happening so it was a happy outcome nevertheless.

Beans makes people happy
Beans have a life of their own
Beans do what they want to do
Beans are 'full of beans'
Beans can be frustrating, but
Beans makes me very happy

Everybody should follow the Philosophy of Beans.
