when a green pea becomes a formidable weapon

If you know a giRaffe well, you will know that she loves green peas.
And because giRaffe loves green peas, she cooks green peas.
And green peas come in frozen packs.
And giRaffe is not the sort who will patiently defrost stuff; she throws frozen things, especially peas, directly into the pot.
And giRaffe does not even bother to take part of the peas out from the packet (because she is not cooking the entire pack) and put them into a container and then lovingly scoop the peas from the container into the pot. No, giRaffe gives the peas a few hard knocks to break up the whole frozen chunk and drops the amount of peas she wants directly from the packet into the pot (of boiling water).
Which leads to today's story of how a green pea (frozen) can be a formidable weapon.

You see, giRaffe's Little One loves to follow giRaffe into the kitchen when she cooks because there are so many things to poke around. So when giRaffe was attempting to get the huge chunk of frozen green peas out of the packet into the pot, one beautifully shaped, perfectly spherical, perfectly frozen little green pea decided to take a different trajectory and flew straight at the cute little nose of giRaffe's Little One.

And from the whines emanating from giRaffe's Little One, killer green pea almost killed him.

So here's a Public Safety Warning for anyone cooking green peas.
Either defrost them carefully, or make sure your loved ones are not within the pea's range of trajectory.
