The Pea Incident

Yesterday instead of puree-ing Cal's veggies, we gave him a bowl of peas. He very quickly discovered the thrill of watching a hundred of them bounce across the table, onto my laptop and into my drink. I'll admit to cracking up at the moment of pea-xplosion, but very quickly resumed poker-face and a serious tone. David was totally torn. He wanted to jump in there and photograph it all, but for the sake of many dinners to come held back and tried to feign disinterest. Cal didn't care. He called our bluff. He knew it was awesome. They bounce, they slide, they travel, they can be squished with your fingers into your tray. Escapees!

Trying to keep a straight face while someone hurls peas at you is harder than you'd think
