In our family, "peep" means to "cut the cheese," to "pass gas," or to "break wind" (all of which expressions I detest and abhor). Allegedly, this word was coined when I got "p**p" and "p**p**" mixed up. I refuse to believe this, however; as a child, I was above stooping to such vulgar and anatomical conversation. But I digress.
Friday, as we were riding to school, someone emitted a roll-down-the-window-worthy-aroma. Jokingly (but completely serious), I asked Shafer "Dorcas, was that you?"
He grinned, then said, "No, McGuire! It was you!..." He paused uncertainly. "Wait...Eleanor? Do girls peep?"
Poor child. I hated to crush his exalted view of girls and pull us down from the pedestal on which this naive juvenile had placed us, but I had to inform him that girls have the same anatomy as boys as per that bodily function.
I kind of wonder where he has been all his life. I mean, he is a part of the Green family, isn't he?
p.s. And, no. It wasn't I.

Now everytime i think of y'all *ahem* "passing gas" ;) i think of those bunny shaped marshmallow treats which are horrible and disgusting.
I love how in the dictionary, peep means "to utter the slightest sound"
it makes it cute. :D
We prefer "jet propulsion"
haha.
kidding!
sorry
Excellent! Timothy Guess was of that mind at one point, too. Cracks me up!
Admit it dimplet... at the slightest disturbance of air inside of you, you walk a good 2 miles from your house, into the forest and make the tree nymphs promise not to tell a soul.
and shout out to the Seven Brides quote. Perfect. The Porters still think that is a boy in a nightgown.
Who, Dorcus?
No... the one who says, "Dorcas? Dorcas?" after she gets pulled through the window.
