Peas:900 Servings Later, I STILL HATE THEM

A personal story in the experience: I Hate Peas
 I think that at some point, I must have enjoyed peas. Otherwise, my parents wouldn't have served them once a week for 18 years. The oldest of three boys, it was me that  somehow communicated that peas were great before being able to speak. Think about it...once a week FOR EIGHTEEN YEARS!

Is that not Effing ridiculous? I didn't even think about it until now...that equates to 934 servings of the loathsome veggie. Texture sucks. Taste is worse. 

I probably would have been able to overcome my distaste...my hate...for peas were it not for my father, at the time a pretty strict disciplinarian who insisted that the thee of us ate every last pea. At that point, my mind had been made up. 

I haven't eaten peas on my own, ever. My significant other loves peas, but she knows not to offer me any...

I once asked my mum why she gave us peas and she said they were a sweet vegetable - she needed therapy I think ....

I often wondered the same...they put me in Therapy at age 12 for "fighting with my brothers." It still throws me...don't all brothers fight?
