Just before easter last year, my daughter who had just arrived home from school and was playing on the floor turned to me and asked “Are you the easter bunny”?  Very likely a result of hearing rumors at school.

I was a bit surprised since she was only in grade one and so I asked her why she wanted to know, not really wanting to admit the truth quite yet.  She looked at me and said “Mom just tell me, I really want to know”.  With a strong faith in god and always having emphasized the “true” meaning of Easter I decided to fess up and admit the truth to her.  She smiled and said “that’s ok” and proceeded to play.  She was silent for a few minutes, pondering the now realization of there being no easter bunny.  A few minutes passed and she looked up at me with this surprised, accusatory look and said “are you the tooth fairy too?”.  She is too smart for her own good and definitely inquisitive when it comes to life.  So this year we can enjoy easter for all the reasons we hold dear yet still have fun with our egg hunts and our yummy chocolate.  Perhaps with just a bit less focus on the big furry bunny.

This is a hilarious video to watch.  Make sure the kiddos aren’t in the room as it is a spoiler for those who still believe in the Big Bunny.
