Sideswipe: January 07: Opening a can of beans on Twitter
6 Jan, 2021 04:00 PM
3 minutes to read Twitter has been agog with a story which began when a daughter wanted some baked beans and her father, John Roderick a.k.a. Bean Dad told her to open a can and heat some up. But the nine year old girl had never used a can-opener.
Roderick decided not to show her so she could figure it out for herself.
He told his daughter: The little device is designed to do one thing: open cans. Study the parts, study the can, figure out what the can-opener inventor was thinking when they tried to solve this problem.
Bean Dad: Musician John Roderick lets his daughter struggle to open a can of beans for 6 hours
So, yesterday my daughter (9) was hungry and I was doing a jigsaw puzzle so I said over my shoulder “make some baked beans.” She said, “How?” like all kids do when they want YOU to do it, so I said, “Open a can and put it in pot.” She brought me the can and said “Open it how?” john roderick (@johnroderick) January 2, 2021
Have you seen Bean Dad trending on Twitter today?
John Roderick is a musician (The Long Winters, Harvey Danger), and podcaster (Roderick On The Line, Road Work, Omnibus, and Friendly Fire). He s also the father to a nine-year-old daughter, and yesterday on Twitter, he decided to share what I m assuming he thought was a hilarious anecdote about what an amazing father he is.

In a great start to 2021, Twitter brutally took to task a father now dubbed #BeanDad, whose intended “teaching moment” for his 9-year-old daughter turned into the hungry girl spending six hours trying to operate a can opener and to get inside a can of baked beans.
The phrases #BeanDad along with “she’s 9” and “SIX HOURS” all trended on Sunday, as people mocked and criticized the dad, musician and podcaster John Roderick, with some calling him everything from an “a–hole” to “abusive.”
