Peas and carrots, a story from childhood in Just Life

At work I was getting everything ready and I asked someone to help me. Not thinking I said pass me the pancake batter…peas and carrots. They looked at me funny. Me and my husband has always said peas and carrots. It’s a family thing my brother and I started and obviously I carried that on to my husband sometimes during conversation if I say peas and carrots it’s translates to please and thank you..my brother and I often had a hard time saying please and thank you to each other so we chose random words to mean what we have difficulty saying. Each group has unique conversations. Sometimes I forget which group knows it and which group doesn’t. Sorry about that.
