Benny the Bean


Everyone has some sort of naming convention they use for people. I think my Grandmother had the best by either using small woodland creatures or barnyard animals. Mind you these were dubbed in Italian. Sure they sound cute, but when you find out their meaning, the word rooster never sounded so mean. Needless to say, there is a fine new gentleman that works in my neighborcubbie (I just made it up, roll with it) who, well, reminds me of a weeble. Shut up you all work with one (ok fine several). He has this deliciously monotone voice which can be rather soothing. Sure he waddles and it's kind of becoming (any word with come makes me smile). The best part though would be the way he rocks his cholo shirt. Granted his is a bit of a remix as he buttons about midway down and let's the rest ride like the wind. Classic! What I'm trying to tell you is my mom uses a name "benny the bean" for people who sound like the person described above. So in my head when I see him I think, there's Benny or look at Beeny go. Well yesterday he gets a call, and says this is Benny. SERIOUSLY?! I could not focus on my conference call as I suddenly had to burst out into giggles. I mean I had to cover my mouth because I snorted (don't judge me). I can't wait to tell my mom.

I know weebles wobble, but they don't fall down. Why do they have to breath out of their mouths? Very distracting when you're pretending to work.
