My great-grandmother felt a community obligation to shell peas. But she was too old to garden, and her friends were too old, too (and no body needed the peas). So her daughter (my Grandmother) had to drive out into the country to find the peas needed to keep her mother busy.

“Shell the peas”, I bet few people born after 1980 would understand this expression.

Shelling and snapping peas was one of the chores I did as a kid. I’d settle down in front of the tv and get to work.

Apparently Nancy would have no trouble walking and chewing gum at the same time.
