2 Pounds of Beans

James’ mom calls him: “James! I need you to go to the market and get me 2 pounds of beans! But don’t you forget, 2 pounds of beans!”

 

“Yes mom” says James.

So he goes to the market, saying to himself: “2 pounds of beans… 2 pounds of beans…”

On his way, James sees one of his friends; sees a gorgeous woman walking on the other side of the street; watched a guy playing a beautiful song on a sax…

Finally, he gets to the market and tells to the clerk: “Hi, I need 2 pounds of… hmm… 2 pounds of… ehh… of….”

“2 pounds of what?” says the clerk a bit stressed since there was a huge line up…

James still hesitating repeats: “2 pounds of… hmmm…”

“2 pounds of what?” yells the clerk, “2 pounds of lead??”

“Oh yes, 2 pounds of lead, how could I forget!?” James answers.

So he goes home and brings the 2 pounds of “beans”

His mom takes the bag and without noticing it, puts its container in the cauldron.

Later that afternoon, his mom calls him back: “James! I do not want you to buy anymore beans at that place you get me?”

“Why is that mom?” asks James.

The mother answers: “Because. Your grandma farted and killed the cat!”
