This is why I have trust issues. Yes, I promise this relates to my post title. Recently, my friend was tending to her online shopping needs. I guess that meant it was time to buy some jelly beans. Little did I know that she would use them to go behind my back and make our friendship disintegrate in a matter of seconds. I had trust issues before, but this really pushed me further. These jelly beans weren't ordinary. They were the trick jelly beans that are in Harry Potter.
If you haven't seen this movie, which I would be surprised that you haven't, then I'll tell you what these jelly beans are about. There are a few different colors that all have two flavors to them. There is what is considered a "good" flavor and a bad flavor. In my opinion, sometimes they are both absolutely disgusting.
It is very rare to find someone who will try one of these so you have to call into your darker side and trick them. The most popular way of doing this is to have an actual bag of good jelly beans that they can see you eating. Then you can have the trick beans in your hand and offer them one. It is absolutely hilarious to see their face! You know exactly which one they get right away because of their reaction. Nine times out of ten I end up crying from laughing so hard.
What happens when you don't have a bag of jelly beans? Well, my way of doing things is to bribe them. What I tend to do is tell them that if they eat one jelly bean I will make them a dessert or something of the sort. If they have any guts or really like desserts then they will do it and chances are they get the bad bean. It is totally worth it!
Okay, my friend and I are still really good friends and no, the jelly beans did not tear our friendship apart. I still love her to death. But man oh man will I be cautious of what I eat from others from now on!
TRUST ISSUES!
