One of my sister-in-law’s early childhood education texts used “pea-ness” when talking about how children don’t innately have a sense of what makes something fit into a certain category. Debbie (my SIL) said she probably wouldn’t have noticed it except that my brother was reading her text out loud to her while she was driving on a long trip. As it is, that’s just a remarkably unfortunate choice of an example–wouldn’t it have been easier to talk about…broccoli-ness or cheese-ness or block-ness…or pretty much anything but pea-ness?
That lady is the real Julie Powell, from Julie and Julia.
That’s awesome…..and the other gals reaction is priceless!
