Alright, so for context, Mom and I were talking about one of Zuko’s toys, a red plastic pepper. “Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,” Mom said (don’t ask me for context, I don’t have it), to which I responded, “So if we pickled the plastic pepper, would Peter Piper pick it?” Except why would you pickle the pepper before picking it? And so the following was born:
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
But the peppers weren’t pickled when Peter Piper picked them.
Unless Peter Piper pickled the peppers on the plant…
In which case Peter Piper wasn’t a very practical pepper picker.
