Perhaps the problem is mushy over-cooked canned peas.

Al dente fresh or frozen is best.

Just leave Skyler alone and just enjoy the peas and quiet.

Give him with what he wants this holiday season: Peas On Earth. LOL. SOMEBODY PLEASE STOP ME!!

You need to squash his resistance.

Although peas are considered a veggie, I would be more concerned with what else is in Skyler’s diet!

For example, is he getting enough worms?

A bag of frozen peas makes a good ice-pack…

Will somebody give a “modern” a sack (bag) of unshelled peas and make a video and post it on youtube. I was in the supermarked and met a friend’s daughter and her husband. She looked at my several cans of aluminum free baking powder and asked what kind of yogurt I had. I told her it was baking powder. She looked really puzzled, and wanted to know what I was going to use BACON powder for. I explained that was what you used for making homemade biscuits and cornbread.Oh, she said, I need to learn about stuff like that.The friends who didn’t believe I could make gravy for chicken fried steak without a mix, is a whole nother story to save for next time.

Not hardly … “Shoe” was doing these type gags when Stephan Pastis was still in short pants.

Dagnabbit Pastis, this is your fault!!!!!!

He opened up a can of ….worms
