Hilary's eyes were as wide as saucers. She was astonished and amazed as she stood in Jay's kitchen surveying the colors...all the colors! Seemingly from floor to ceiling, Jay had stacked up dozens upon dozens of Peeps packages! Those squishy pink and blue and yellow and purple and green marshmallow bunnies that hop around your favorite grocery store at Easter time. It was like sunshine and daisies on the kitchen countertop! "Why, Jay? Why so many Peeps?!!" Hilary could not understand the rationale behind the sheer volume of marshmallows before her. "They were on clearance! Twenty cents a box!" Jay said with pride. "Who had that many Peeps left after Easter? You must have gone to The Peep Store!" Jay was bemused at the thought. "The Peep Store? You talking about the one on the corner of Main and Fifth Avenue?" Hilary nodded in agreement. "Hilary, that's a totally different kind of, ummm, peep store, if you catch my drift. More like a peep show!" Jay laughed. "No way!" Hilary blurted out. "It's an adult peep store?!" "Yep!" "Wait! How do you know?! Have you been peeping in the peep store?!" Hilary teased. "Of course not...I am a man of integrity and honor and morals." Jay teased with chivalrous intent. "But, I'm also the mailman! I deliver to the Peep Store every now and then!" "Well, they better not be delivering back to you, mister...if you catch MY drift!" Hilary laughed. "No, no, no," Jay assured her. "All I ever see is a big gruff bouncer type behind a podium in the foyer. I give him the mail. Well, every now and then there's a pretty girl behind the podium instead. I figure the bouncer guy probably had to go to the bathroom or something." "That's your in, Jay!" Hilary laughed. "If you ever want a free peep show, just hand bouncer dude the mail and then ask if you can use the bathroom!" Jay laughed at the thought. "Hilary, I have no desire for a free peep show. Besides, I've got the beautiful Hilary Duff in my corner!" "And don't you forget it!" Hilary said. "Oh, Hilary, I have to tell you about the little plaque they have on the wall! It says, 'I can dish it out good but I don't give it away for free'!" "Well, there's a life motto if I ever heard one!" Hilary joked. "But seriously, Jay, what are you going to do with all those Peeps?!" "Well, actually, I was thinking about giving them to you!" Jay says. "You know the little home studio at your house?" "Ummm, yes...." Hilary says, intrigued. "Well, we can line the walls with these Peeps! I promise you, they will soundproof your studio better than egg crates!" "No way, Jay! I don't need Peeps lining the walls of my house! Besides, the word 'peeps' has taken on a whole new meaning after talking to you today!" "But Hilary", Jay argues..."think about how much of a hero you would be to your kids if you lined your walls with peeps! You'd be the cool mom!" "Jay", Hilary said, matter of factly, "I'm already the cool mom." "Point taken, Ms. Duff!" Jay laughed. "Well, I guess you better help me eat these bad boys then! Have you seen the nutrition label on these things! Look!" Jay picks up one of the packages and hands it to Hilary. "An eight pack of peeps....look what the serving size is". "EIGHT?!!" Hilary shouts in amazement. "A serving size is the entire package?!" "They probably didn't want us to feel guilty", Jay surmises. "Besides, who's really interested in nutrition if your eating Peeps!" "Well, hand me some of those pink ones, Jay...I can probably get a serving size in my belly!" "See, Hilary, you really are a cool mom!"

It's been forever since I've eaten a peep.
Do male stripper shows count as peep shows. I'll bet all your female readers have taken a peep at them.
