This morning's prompt was 'jar of peanuts'.


What can I do with a jar of peanuts?
***
"Peanuts. It's just like peanuts!"
"What?" Wendy looked around. Jake had a handful of something.
"Jake, please tell me you didn't... You did. You fool."
"I'm just trying them-"
Wendy smacked him hard across the back of his head 
"Spit! Spit it all out!*
"Hey, that hurt. Crap."
"What?!"
"You made me bite my lip "
"Shit!" Wendy handed him her canteen. "Rinse and spit! Now, damn it!"
Jake did as she told him, complaining all the time. "You hit me! You didn't-"
He coughed, then wheezed. "I can't catch my breath."
"Shut up concentrate on the next one! Damn, now we're in for it."
She took a big lungful and sang out 
"Chief Petty Officer!"
