Magic Beans

While at Target last week, Corey found a great present for each of us. The box looked to contain only an egg, but on further inspection, we discovered there was a much greater treasure inside. If you watered the egg, it would crack open and a bean sprout would pop up with a SECRET MESSAGE written on it. Being the wise shopper that he is, Corey bought us each one plant ($1.24 each). Poor Corey's was broken, and the sprout never amounted to much and in fact began to smell REALLY NASTY. So I faithfully watered my egg and sure enough a bean sprouted up with a message on it. I squinted and squinted, held it up to light, and there it was. The bean read "that's hot". I feel like Ralphie with the Orphan Annie secrect decoder ring from The Christmas Story.
