Did you know that the saying “Easy Peasy” comes from the phrase “Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy?” It was coined in the 1950s in a commercial for a Sqezy, a British detergent brand which was sold in a squeeze bottle and had a lemon scent. It simply means it is something easy to do. No effort. Simple. When your wife asks you to take out the garbage tonight just say, “No problem, Easy Peasy!” If your husband asks for a five minute back rub say, “Sure! Easy Peasy.” If your teenage son ask you if he can take six friends on a road trip to Vegas say, “NO!” (I hope you didn’t think I was going to say, “Sure, Easy Peasy!”)
Can I ask you to do something that I believe is Easy Peasy? It won’t cost you any money. It will take less than 30 seconds. You don’t have to pour ice cold water on your head. You can even do it in your pajamas. Would you please “Like” David’s Refuge on Facebook? All you have to do is simply click the Like Button on our Facebook page. In fact, click the following link:
