Talking beans

Christopher is a child who has always liked to eat. You don't need to tell him to stop playing because it's lunchtime! But right now I am standing in the kitchen, listening to him in his high chair, making two beans talk to each other. Seriously. He ate much of his lunch but has several beans remaining on his plate along with some hummus. Perhaps he has become attached to said beans and will not consume them today. They are the fortunate ones. He is also including himself in the conversation saying, "Beans, go in hummus please. Okay." Quite a conversation. How will it end? The suspense is killing me.
