peter's profound moment

One morning at the lake house we caught the end of American Beauty while getting ready to spend the day by the lake.
Peter sat at the end of the bed in front of the t.v. with a sincere look on his face and nodding in agreement as Kevin Spacey talked about there being so much beauty in the world and feeling like he sometimes sees it all at once and his heart filling up like a balloon (yeah, you know the line.)
My sister and I looked at each other confused. Was Peter having some kind of sincere, profound moment?
Then we looked down and noticed that all the while Peter was rubbing Australian Gold tanning oil on top of his feet and between his toes.
