Peas?

I was singing some Christmas songs to Claire before she went to sleep and I happened to start out with Silent Night.

I finished the chorus..."Sleep in heavenly peace."

She looked at me all confused.

"Mom," she said, "we eat peas for dinner."

I then tried to explain that peas and peace were spelled different and had different meanings to a three year old.

Then, after my clarifying rambling, she said, "We still eat peas for dinner. And toast."

Peace and toast.

I don't know when we had that for dinner, but apparently it made an impression.

Peas out.
