Why did peg let Edward sleep on Kim's water mattress bed??


She obviously didn't think his scissors would poke holes in the mattress and the bed would explode

Because she was a sweetheart, good-hearted simpleton who just wanted to help. What kind of person keeps door-knocking on those obnoxious neighbors to sell them Avon they will never buy or afford to by? It was the storytellers (Burton's) way of showing you how dumb, but nice she was.
