Where oh where does the Easter tradition of hiding eggs and giving chocolate rabbits come from? Who knows...not even the gurus at Yahoo.com, who are attributing the centuries old custom to some spring celebration invoking the goddess of the dawn, "Eoster," who did something or other with rabbits and eggs - both a sign of fertility.
All I know is that this morning, as I quietly sipped tea and read Facebook, all the while Dwayne was making the BEST BREAKFAST EVER, the Easter Bunny was busy laying eggs and abandoning chocolate replicas of himself made of fine European Chocolate. Who needs the Tooth Fairy or Santa Clause when you've got fine European Chocolate, compliments of the Easter Bunny?
Many years ago, when my friend Brad was just a little boy, someone told him that there was no such thing as the Tooth Fairy. Upon consultation with his mother, who confirmed this to be true, Brad looked up at his mom, and said with a quiver in his voice "Oh no, does that mean there's no Easter Bunny either?". It was enough to make you cry.
