One day, Sarah and I snuck into the garden while Grandma Ruby was busy cleaning the house. Just like the groundhog who was forever foraging her vegetables, my sister and I spied the peas! If you have never eaten raw peas, you have missed one of life�s greatest pleasures. Sarah and I probably ate one whole row completely clean!
We were almost ready to pop when, to our horror, there was Grandma with her apron on and her hands on her hips�staring at us and then looking all around for a good switch off a nearby bush. Sarah and I squealed and ran as fast as we could out of the garden.
Grandma never had to punish us though. A ton of raw peas can do that to you. Our tummies were messed up all night! Still, the memory of Grandma�s garden brings a smile to my face, and now I encourage Ally and Barrett to munch out of our own!
