Here's the happy Easter rabbit, hurray!

Hey! You parents of not-yet-mobile infants at the egg hunt today? There is NO WAY your friggin' baby collected ALL THOSE EGGS by itself. Plus, plastic eggs are like the most perfect size and shape for LODGING IN A BABY'S WINDPIPE.

Have a heart, you selfish condo-flippers, and leave a few eggs for the children old enough to actually find them fair

Adding that to my MARTHA STEWART OF THE DAMNED scrapbook!

don't you mean Night of the Martha Stewart Living Dead?

I'm so glad Martha has finally outgrown Easter egg hunts. It would be different if there were just a few kids looking for some carefully hidden eggs, but instead it's a locust swarm over in two minutes. And it played out the same every year: Martha tends to hang back in a crowd, so she'd always be really sad that she didn't get as many eggs as everyone else. Then some kids whose parents scooped them up for them would, without being asked, drop some eggs in her basket, which always cheered her up. Yay for generous kids, boo for greedy parents and a meaningless ritual.

Yeah, I kind of love that Ellie is not greedy or grabby, at least when it comes to getting her fair share or way more than the other kids. (for example, HOW COME SHE GOT MORE CHOCOLATE IN HER EGG THAN ME?! ) unfortunately, this means that if the guy sitting next to her in the cafeteria snatches her cupcake for the sole purpose of chewing it up and spitting it out (it's happened) she's more likely to cry or just "let it go" rather than defending her stuff or telling him no.

We actually like egg hunts, just the more leisurely ones - unlike Seder, where the express version is preferred:^)

That one year...

[dlasky]

Being half-Jewish, my brother and I still qualified for Easter candy. And gladly partook.
But one year, we happened to be visiting some Jewish relatives several states away, and it fell on that special weekend, and there was just... no Easter. Decades later I still remember the year without Easter!

All this to say:
I love the photo!

Well that is just about the saddest Passeaster story I have ever heard. I am so sorry.

Otherwise...hehe, thanks!
