  <description>You know you're going to give your kid a complex if you call them "The Mean Bean" instead of; sweetiepie, sugar face, bear, etc. My nickname stuck- even when I got nicer. AND my affinity for all things BEAN happens to be tremendous; Coffee beans (my coffee feign), Cocoa beans, Vanilla beans, chickpeas (yes, it's a bean), black beans....and so on. 

As for the "mean" part, depends on which ex-boyfriend you ask. I think I'm super sugary. 

And no, I will not be writing any guides about beans. Unless I get a special request. </description>
