Every Easter my sister and I would get Peeps in our Easter Baskets and every year my sister and I would tell our parents that we did not like Peeps. It apparantly fell on deaf ears each time because sure enough the very next year a row of bright yellow, sugary chicks would be peeking out of the tops of our baskets. One year when I was living in Michigan I had to work and couldn't make it home for Easter Sunday. I thought for sure I had escaped - or at least put on hold the Peeps. Later that week I received a card in the mail from home. It was slightly thicker than normal so I hoped my parents had sent me some cash to get something other than ramen noodles, peas and hot dogs. I tore open the envelope and pulled out the card. Upon opening the card a ziploc sandwich bag fell out with a yellow mess in it. Further inspection revealed a Peep that had been flattened by a rolling pin! My dad thought he was so clever that year.
