beans, beans, magical beans

I have a handful of "magical" memories from my childhood. One of them involves beans. Mexican jumping beans. I think my mom and dad got some for my stocking one year. I was remembering that experience recently. I checked Amazon and  ordered some to share with my grandchildren this Christmas. I also found out they aren't beans at all. I bought a children's book that explains where they come from and what's going on to make them jump. This should be fun. I hope it is a magical memory for them too.
