How many peas do you think you've eaten in your life?

[pipi_k]

42. A Brazillion minus

about 50 or so when I was a kid and my mother made me sit at the table until I finished my peas.

I was sort of a stubborn kid and never did finish those peas and my mother threw them out.

I went outside and, while sitting on the front porch pondering the ways of the world, it occurred to me that those peas I refused to eat had given their lives in vain and got wasted. I cried for the wasted peas, and never wasted another pea again.

Now I love them.
