A big brother allows the baby sitter to misunderstand his little
sister in this Scottish import. Small Jessie is just learning
words, and when she says “please” it sounds just like PEAS. Mum
and Dad are off to a ceilidh (Dad's in his kilt and Mum's in her
dancing boots), and they tell Rachel, the baby sitter, to give
Jessie anything she asks for, as she is just getting over a
cold. So when she asks for “Orange juice peas” Rachel gamely
finds some leftover cooked peas in the fridge and drops a few in
the juice. Jessie is not pleased, and she asks for a “Boon
peas!” Ben translates “spoon” but not the other, so Jessie gets
a spoon with peas, which she uses to get the peas out of her
juice. Alas, though, now the orange juice tastes of peas.
“Yack!” says Jessie. This continues. While Ben tries to hold in
his giggles, Jessie grows ever more frustrated, and Rachel gets
increasingly mystified. There are peas all over the place.
Finally, Ben explains that Jessie means “please,” not that she
wants peas with everything.
