Can I've a Peep, Pop???


I bought my first package of easter Peeps the other day! I don't know how you all like to eat your peeps, but I was raised by my dad taking off the cellophane wrapper, setting the box on top of the fridge and waiting for them to get good and hard.....DELICIOUS!!!! Nothin' like a stale Peep!!! As I was enjoying the bright turquoise colored sugary delight, I was thinking about my dad. There are certain treats he always has in the house and my nieces and nephew know where to go when they visit grandmom and pop to find them! Dad loves gummy alphabet letters...but only the clear colored ones that taste like pineapple. ( he even keeps a not so hidden stash of them in his bedroom!! the kids caught on to that hiding place real quick!!) Around easter though, many times I have been over their house when the kids are visiting and heard one or more of them ask..."can I've a peep, Pop?" I can't wait for the day to hear Noah asking Pop that same question.

So in honor of easter, Noah and Peep lovers everywhere....Glenn put together this little montage of what I discovered on-line today. Who knew people were so creative with their Peeps?!!! ( I'm not sure which I find funnier....the "peeping tom", the "Olympic peeps" or "stripper peeps"! A little twisted?...yes!...but still very funny!!!

  2. Seriously...I think I remember that about your dad!

    And we have a "peep" show at church every year. Except this year...I don't have time to run it.

  4. You guys probably know this being in PA and all but Bethlehem drops a peep for New Years Eve. I heard that on the radio here in NC. So it must be a northern thing too about the Peeps getting stale because my dad does the same thing. Ask him and he will laugh? Daddy loves them things.
