Space Monkey Splashdown

(This is a follow-up to Sunday's Space Monkey Wherefore Art Thou?)

On Friday night 9 year-olds Peter & Josh were at odds over the former's discovery of the coveted Space Monkey Might Bean in the party favor package.

Meanwhile, the likes of fellow 9 year-old Jack were confusedly wondering, "Mighty whaaa?"

Unfamiliar with the whole craze because he attends a private school with concerns much higher on Blooms Taxonomy than those of the average public school 3rd grader, Jack was left to look about the table for sings of protocol.

• Overturn package and rip through the cardboard backing. Got it.
• Marvel at the trio of characters pressed into the forms. Check. 
• Point out the silly expressions. Did it. 
• Consult the accompanying paperwork for the "rareness" of each Mighty Bean. 
• Oooh yeah, I got one common and two rare. 
• Hey, these are sooooo cool!

Soundly innitated into teh Might Been Craze in all of 3 minutes' time, Jack was down right evangelical by the next morning.

With a peristence of a 4-laws-wielding Campus Crusader on the Spring Break sands of Daytona, Jack paraded about his home extolling the merits and virtues of the low unit cost/high profit craze that is the Migty Beanz collection of 2010.

So vigilant was he in his recitation of the Mighty Beanz gospel, and so convincing of his need for more icons in the Beanz catherdral that once was his room, Jack's mother had little choice but to head to the nearby SuperTarget to gather more for the collection.

good thing they were there about when teh doors opened - not long after jack's sunrise eccumenical Might Beanz  service, I'm sure. There were onlya handfiull of packages on the hooks.

In the car, the two packages were quickly pried open.

And a miracle happened. Jack met up with not one, but two, yes, two Space Monkey Beanz.

A house call was in order.

Yep, the Might Beanz neophyte, the zealous convert to the craze was poised to make a sacrifice.

In a scene that makes you realize there is innocence and good in the world, on their way home Jack had his mom stop by Josh's house  where he promptly delivered the coveted Space Monkey off to the one who cared so much the night before.

For his generosity, Jack was rewarded with his pick of Josh's Mighty Beanz. After all, what good is a collectible if you can't trade it for something better?
