Human Beans - How Much Are They Worth?

Driving over to pick up Eric from work, our two little kids were riding along in the backseat, on either side of their baby brother. They were discussing the possibility of their being able to go swimming at the Rec Center. . .

"It's way expensive over there." I explained/whined. "Isn't it like $3.50 a person to get in?! It's only a dollar over at the middle school. . ."

"Well, humans are three dollars and 50 cents, and kids are two dollars and 50 cents." she stated energetically, in her diplomatic way.

Jeffy thought for a minute, frowned slightly, and gave his opinion.

"Everybody's a human bean." he offered studiously, with some fervor. . .

I was inclined to agree.  : ) 

Ain't it great how children speak their minds, leaving no room for doubt?
