Pea Folklore - what are your favorites?

Beyoncé?

There are massive roosters at Tractor Supply. When I discovered them, I laughed so hard. My family thought I had lost the plot.

I believe it was shared on both a regular post as well as on a LO in the gallery. Basically there was a Pea who found themselves suddenly raising their child alone.  She had a very low-paying job at the time, and was trying her best to find another. She lived very close by to her parents & maybe one other relative, and some combo of those relatives were helping her with babysitting and with rent, but she was still struggling even just with groceries.

So one night she wound up just sautéing some tinned mushrooms and she served them on the best dishes she owned, with little cocktail forks, and used fancy glasses for whatever they were drinking. And they put a blanket down in front of the TV and had their fancy dinner while watching a movie.

And she said when she put her child to bed that night, she went and cried for how awful she felt about their situation and how guilty she felt for how things were at the time.

So then fast forward and the child is now a teen and one night they were planning to d something special together because they both had time free, and the daughter asked if they could have the living room picnic with the mushrooms and the fancy glasses & forks again.  And the mom asked why they wanted that of all things, and the daughter told her it was one of her favorite childhood memories. And of course, that made her mom look at that night so much differently--she viewed it as her failing her child, and her child viewed it as this wonderfully new & different thing they were doing that was special & fun & fancy.  

Two of my favorites are.....

1. Do you put your shopping cart away

2. Whether or not it's okay to flush a public toilet with your foot

I remember that. 

Can't pass one without thinking (and likely saying, "knock, knock mother f%$cker..."

Remember Oceangram? A game where you could post messages in a “bottle” and they would float around until they washed up on someone else’s beach. We had some mighty battles with a couple of other groups who all couldn’t work out who or what The Peas were.

I too was going to say MSP!!

How about the mirror house???

Recipes....Kami's brownies. My daughter still requests these. This recipe is on the recipe part of this site.

I forgot all about that!! Both that it even existed and that the it turned into an example of how the Peas could make drama out of anything!

Lysol Boy

Did someone say prom gate already? Where the pea’s son didn’t have a date/date cancelled and the peas donated money for one of our younger peas to go to prom with him. Things got weird- I think too much money was collected or something and not all the pea’s expenses for prom were paid but she was trying to keep it quiet and not let it become a thing but it did.

I can’t believe nobody has mentioned the drawing of how to use a diva cup!😳

Yes! The yard with all mirrors!

The woman whose husband wanted to host Christmas dinner for his family and she had to work right up until Christmas. He claimed he could do it himself, how hard could it be? She sat on the couch posting play by play posts of all his misadventures.

I remember Beadhound and the thread about her hatred for cops, any and all of them. It didn't go well for her.

What was the one with kids/teens swimming in a Peas pool and one of them pooped on the side of the pool. Is that right? I can't remember exactly what happened anymore.
