"I will never eat peas! They are soft and squishy and they grow on trees!"
"That's not true, you're telling big fibs! All you eat for dinner are lots and lots of ribs!"
"Mum! Stop complaining, you have a frown, you're acting all crazy, I think you're like a clown!"
"Eat the peas on your plate, eat them right now.
If you don't eat them, I think I'm going to growl.
I'm not in the mood for arguing, I'm not in the mood at all, I'm not in the mood for games .... I'm not in the mood for balls!
Eat your peas, sweetheart, eat them right now!"
"Ok, ok, I ate them, YUMMY YUMMY, WOW!"
