My True and Silly Easter Story.

[undergroundpanther]

One Easter when I was real little,like 3 years old my mom had forgot to hang my Easter basket on my doorknob like she did every year.. I woke up looked at my doorknob that year- there was nothing there.

So I asked my parents sitting at the kitchen table with the old percolator pot drinking their morning coffee like usual,Did the Easter Bunny forget our house? Did I do something bad to make him mad at me? Tears welled up I felt so sad...

So spencer distracted me from that meltdown by telling me,no he didn't forget you.He explained to me, why the Bunny didn't leave a basket,He said mom and himself took coffee break with Bunny and they talked for awhile.
I said so why didn't you wake me up!!!

He said because when we were fixing to wake you up,
The Bunny just realized he was running late delivering baskets in this area and finished his cup and ran off just before you got up.
I was disappointed.

I was again reassured that he was there,Mom and I were talking to him.

My jaw hit the linoleum,REALLY! Are you kidding me?. You SAW him!!!..AND.. He can Talk!!
What did he say to you guys? Spencer replied that he told us about how he makes all the chocolate,and it's a VERY hard job..And he had a very cool basket for me.

I asked spencer what did The Easter Bunny look like?

I was told he had 1 blue ear,and the other one was pink,his body was changing color like that horse in The Wizard of Oz, his tail was bright purple and blinked like xmas lights,his eyes were neon blue and he glows all over.
I was totally blown away by this description.I imagined a rabbit that looked like that.And I decided I HAD to catch up to him,if just to see him.

I asked how big was he?

I was told by Spencer he was taller than himself with his ears tucked down...(Spencer was tall over 6 foot,)
I managed an awestruck...wow..a rabbit big enough not only to have to duck under door thresholds like dad does but he must hit the ceiling!!

Just than,I realized I had woke up only a few minutes ago.

So I asked, Which way did the Easter Bunny go when he left here?

Spencer pointed out to the big field that was adjunct to our back yard..at roughly the far left.
So,I immediately ran out the back door through the backyard and halfway across the field determined to catch the Easter Bunny.

Then in middle of the field when I was getting tired,I realized that if he drank coffee , it made him hyper. (being a hyper kid,the word hyper was a word used alot in my house.I was very familiar with the definition)
That meant the Rabbit had obviously out run me.

In the distance mom was calling for me..So I walked back to the house a little crestfallen, panting,with no rabbit,telling both parents I tried by best to catch him but I couldn't.

They LTFAO.

Mom handed me my basket off my door while I caught my breath at the kitchen table, and as I took it, I was amazed,wondering how could Mr.Bunny run THAT fast? I said how is that possible,he must have been going faster than time itself..My father said yes,he runs faster than time. I wondered out loud how could I run faster than time and catch him next Easter?

Anyone else have a silly Easter story?

2. Kids in my family

Would have Easter Egg hiding contests with the eggs we dyed - timed contests to find all the dozen or so eggs. I won one year because I came up with the brilliant idea of attaching an egg to our dog's collar, who would at times literally be following the other kids around while they hunted.

3. Hehe

wish I would have thought of that one.You must have been a dreaded competitor in Easter egg hunts.I bet if you hid eggs for the Easter games now at the White House the CIA would not even be able to find your eggs.

5. You know, I never had much luck at Easter Egg hunts

At churches or put on by the local zoo, etc. The bigger kids always seemed to get them all before I could. I recently twisted balloons at a KC suburb Easter Egg hunt. They threw out 2000 plastic eggs each on two different baseball fields (divided up by age group). I watched my grand-niece take part in the little kid one. That field was cleared of eggs in under 5 minutes. It was like a swarm of locusts starting lined up against the homerun fence working into the infield, devouring an egg crop.

6. i heard a similar story

my stepfather was a policeman who worked graveyard, he said he just missed the bunny when he came home, he saw "just a hind leg" as the rabbit left. I can still see that hind leg in my head (brown and white)

7. A friend posted this on her FB page this morning.

Jessica pulled me into my room a while ago to "have a talk." Dang.... the Easter Bunny and Santa, "POOF!" gone from her life forever. I've been dreading that conversation. Thank GOD she didn't ask about the Tooth Fairy, too! (I still remember asking my mom the same questions.... and then wishing I hadn't. One of those things you never quite get over.)
