Meet The Peckers

This is Pappy Pecker, he is 58 years old. He just came back from finishing the last seven hours of his community service. He’s spent all day stooping over picking broken bottles and dirty needles at Long Beach. Thank god he had worn shorts and sandals coz it was sure hot out there. But then maybe he shouldn’t have worn sandals coz he discovered several wounds on his feet on the way back. Now he is sure he has aids.
If only he had waited till he got home that fateful Friday night three months ago, he wouldn’t be in this mess. He was caught by another customer performing lewd acts with a freshly baked apple pie at Marie Callender’s – and it really wouldn’t have been so bad, if he had just stopped right there instead of finishing it all off with obsence gestures with a ketchup bottle. But alas, he has underestimated the power of Viagra. He was slapped with a $5,000 fine, 500 hours of community service, and a restraining order from all Marie Callender branches. Guess he’ll just have to go back to hanging out at Dunkin Donuts.
This is Posy Pecker. She just arrived in California six months ago from Cuba. She was an illegal immigrant and had no visa or documents to her name. So when she met Pappy whilst buying donuts at the local Dunkin, she took the opportunity and presented him with a proposal. Of couse she’s no Demi Moore, and all the more he’s no Harrison Ford. All I can say is that the arrangement included some Pesos, secret favors, and Havana Cigars.
This is Peepee, he is roughly one and a half. One day he just showed up on the door step and no one knows who his parents are.But since the house always seem to have leftovers lying around - and them not having a dog or anything like that, they decided to keep him. They named him Peepee, taken from both their first initials.
Peepee turned out to be a difficult child. Until now he still has the DareDevil face paint he wore during Holloween. He refuses to go near soap. And based on the fact that he seems to idolize particular cartoon characters such as DareDevil, Winnie The Pooh and Kimpossible, they suspect he is gay.
This is their new boarder who just moved in two days ago. He seems to be very well-off and can afford to board at the Ritz, but he says he’s looking for privacy and prefers homecooked meals, so they let him move in. Curiously though, there have been several reporters who started showing up yesterday looking for a Mr M. Jackson. But since he said they can call him Jacko, then it was probably someone else. And besides, Michael Jackson is black, this man – while he does have a strange nose, is very white, there was just no way...
He was a dream border to have, always spoke in soft tones and walked in quiet graceful steps. He was very excited when he saw a child in the family and immediately created a strong bond with him.

Tomorrow, the story begins!
