At dinner I was trying to have a serious conversation with my eldest daughter… “Daughter, I need you to understand this (pea), it’s very important and I need your attention (pea), blah blah blah (pea). Daughter!, focus(pea). Ignore your (pea) sister and (pea) listen to me (pea). Do (pea) you (pea) under(pea)stand what I’m (pea) saying? (pea). (Pea, pea, pea, snort, snort, baby giggle, pea, pea, snort). Apparently, sweet baby E was trying to lighten the conversation by bouncing peas off of her big sister’s head. Do you know how hard it is to keep a strait face during a one sided pea fight when the instigator is pelting your audience with strategically timed peas and giggling in a low voice similar to Darth Vader? Quite impossible, mission aborted. “Mom, why is E pea-ing at me?”
