Tellin' Stories

While we were eating lunch today, I said to Virginia and Jude, "See guys, here's an example of a food I don't like.  I don't like peas, never have, but I'm eating them to set a good example for you.  You just have to eat whatever you've been served, even if you kind of don't like it."

Virginia's reply:  "Well, Ella said that aliens pop out their eyeballs and put poison in them and give them to us to eat (they look like these peas) and that if you eat the peas, you die. Ella said that if you touch that tree, aliens will kill you.  They'll touch out their hand and kill you, and then they'll suck out all of your blood and take your bones and brain.  And then when that alien dies, it will turn you into an alien.  So I touched the tree and nothing happened, and I told Ella that's not true.   She said that on your birthday, if you're three or five, if you touch that tree, they'll electrocute you.  That's not true."

I hate peas as well, always have. My excuse: Lauren Child's version of "Princess & The Pea." In the end, real princess do not eat peas."
