Happy Easter! This morning, the birds are singing as I get ready for this Resurrection Sunday. Let’s start off with an Easter bunny controversy cartoon.
The Easter bunny has always given me the creeps. I giant six-foot rodent never appeared to me no matter how many treat-filled eggs I received. Besides, an Easter egg hunt looked to me like a terror-filled survival of the fittest. I have an early memory of running frantically to try to get at least one egg before the bigger, faster kids took them all.
Where did this scary rodent come from? Here are a few things you may not know about the Easter Bunny. Of course, it has nothing to do with the biblical reason for Easter.
I always had a big issue with a rabbit laying eggs too. Even at five years old, I knew there was something wrong with that picture. It seemed more reasonable to me that the Easter Bunny stole the eggs from chickens. But a cleptomaniac of a rabbit didn’t sound very appealing either. There was just too much wrong with that picture.
May you have a blessed Resurrection Sunday and avoid any Easter bunny controversy.
