The Pea vs Venus Fly Trap Story

.......the annual Twilight Zone marathon reminds me without fail of my mother's Venus Fly Trap. Some have heard the story, but here goes....this is how I apologize every year to my mom, owning it.

PEA vs Venus Fly Trap STORY.....

......I remember Twilight Zone was on every Friday night at 9, right after Outer Limits. 

I so recall Friday nights, my mom served peas. I so hated peas then. Loved them now. I wasn't allowed to watch the shows until my peas were gone. I watched a lot of television in the reflection in the kitchen window. 

I tried to rein in my strength to eat peas but couldn't. About 2 or 3 months later my mothers beautiful, huge, (largest I've ever seen, even now) Venus Fly Trap died. Sigh, I guess it wasn't a vegetarian.  I've always felt guilt about feeding it those peas weekly.
