So I stood in shock and horror when it was announced that I had been cast in the pivotal role of the green bean.

The green bean costume consisted of a green leotard with crepe paper pea pods safety pinned all over it and lime green tights and this two foot tall pea pod hat with a curly thing on top.

I went to Mrs. Gandy after school in tears.

I said, Mrs. Gandy, I cannot do this.

I cannot wear this.

Whoever heard of a fat green bean?

They're going to make fun of me.

And Mrs. Gandy, I can sing.

My talent is wasted on this bane.

She said, Rhonda Faye, you listen to me, child.

In my show, there are four bunny rabbits, and there are a lot of flowers, but there is one green bean, and you are it.

She said, now I will write you a solo, but I want you to get up there and pour your heart out on that stage, and don't you let those children tell you who you are.

You show them who you are.

And I decided in that moment to be the best green bean ever to grace the stage.

But what to do about that hideous costume?

I laid it out on my Sears canopy bed to assess the damage.

First of all, this horrible leotard.

I strategically re-safety pinned the crepe paper pea pods to hide my figure flaws.

And then I attached my Burger King crown to the pea pod hat

And then I had a brainstorm.
