I gave a glib answer when my daughter asked what I wanted for #Christmas . I now have world peas.
@Redpedals This… omg, so adorable! 🥰
@Redpedals That is quite the commitment to the bit!
@Redpedals A dad joke you can hold in your hand.
@Redpedals That is one of the most Fantastic gifts I've ever seen!!! She's aged and so are you!! CHEERS!!
@Redpedals This it talent and a gift
@Redpedals Hmmm, just gonna go find some green and blue yarn. No reason 😇
@Redpedals @donmelton All we are saying is give them a chance.

@Redpedals

That very clever.

Dr ToddisaDJ does #crochet and I can imagine how long that would have taken.

@Redpedals I once gave a similarly glib answer to *my* daughter: "a goat."

So she gave me a goat (or rather gave one to a poor village in my name, via heifer.org). One of my best gifts ever.

@msbellows @Redpedals I always imagine some single poor village totally overrun by goats and then trucks turning up to drop off more, the locals pulling their hair out "when will it end?"

@Redpedals

Your daughter is amazing!  

When given the same prompt, a dear friend of mine about twenty years ago gave me a little rock on which had been written with paint pen: "World Piece."

I don't know where that ended up, but I loved it.

(He also gave me a very nice electric wok)

@Redpedals
You obviously did a good job raising your daughter judging by her sense of humor.

@Redpedals

But didn't you ask for whorled peas?

@Redpedals
Beautiful! Definitely better than green peas
@Redpedals This is amazing! I love maps and globes. So cool!!
@Redpedals better than whirled peas...
@Redpedals Yarnomancers are not to be trifled with, just saying. :)
@Redpedals looks like invitation to juggling 101
@SonofaGeorge She weighted them for juggling. They're actually quite similar in size and weight to the balls that I learnt with.
@Redpedals I imagine you are so proud of your daughter!
@Redpedals
Look, @Elenyafinwe : bad puns AND needlework 🤣
@Redpedals what was the glib answer? The peas are really nice
@Redpedals your daughter is awesome
@Redpedals my late soulmate Marko would have loved that.
@Redpedals
That is just wonderful! Your daughter is a truly lovely person 😺
@Redpedals oh I have heard of this story! Something involving a massive beanstalk and fi fa fo fum.
@Redpedals your daughter wins at Dad jokes 🤣
@Redpedals This is way beyond amazing! ❤️
@Redpedals
😀👌🎄🧜‍♀️
@Redpedals this is unbelievably cute. I'm jealous.
@Redpedals Do they double as juggling beanbags?
@simon_brooke She weighted them for juggling. They work well for small balls.
@Redpedals Tell your daughter about the most sincere admiration from a stranger from the internet. Also you're making a great job.
@Redpedals I also got some peas on Christmas from my daughter-in-law ☺️
@Redpedals I love it! I’m always telling my kids I want world peace too. I need to make that.
@Redpedals there is a great children's book called 'War and Peas' about a greedy lion who eats staggering amounts of cake, oddly.- by Nichael Foreman
@Redpedals it is just as I visualized it.
@Redpedals
Sadly, this is about as close as we're gonna get I'm afraid...
