shell-shocked
Jan 27th, 2008
Around Christmas time we received a big bag of peanuts, which we're still working our way through. The only problem with these peanuts is, they're still in their shells. Certain individuals, including some friends of ours, are happy to eat them whole, but I just don't think that's tasty. So we shell them. Naturally, both Leah and I have been heard to remark, "if only there were some way to get peanuts that were somehow pre-shelled..."
Well, now we have them, and I have eaten many peanuts. It is a dangerous thing to have your wishes come true.
