GREEN BEANS VS KIDS

I wish kids were as easy to "grow" as green beans. For instance, if you just dump a little fertilizer on green beans and apply some water once in a while, pull out a few weeds, presto, you have green beans.
Unlike kids who wake up hungry, ravenous would be a better word. They eat one continuous meal, from the time they get up until the time the go to sleep.
Sometimes I think my son eats in his sleep, because there are usually Twinkie wrappers on his nightstand, next to the empty milk glass.

I wondered why there were only a few glasses in the cabinet.
I found some of our good china in the basement with cat food on them.
Green beans don't tie up the phone line, or receive calls which tie up the line for hours.
You don't have to worry where your green beans are at night, or what they are doing.
Green beans don't talk back to you, and they don't think you are stupid.

Green beans don't use your makeup, your clothes, or your hair dryer, and then leave them wherever they were when they used them.
Green beans don't dirty dishes and trash their room and then disappear until bedtime.
However green beans don't make cute little birthday cards, or give you kisses right after they eat chocolate chip cookies.

Maybe I'll keep them---the kids.
