One year my brother planted some pepper plants in our yard, and then left on some adventure of his. After a while they produced these beautiful skinny green peppers, so my dad and I harvested them and brought them into the kitchen to slice and freeze. Being wholly unfamiliar with pepper varieties it didn't dawn on us that these were jalapenos until we were both standing in the kitchen with firey tears streaming down our faces, that only worsened when we rubbed our eyes so we could see. Boy, that stuff sneaks up on you!
