Easter Eggs 4/4/10

Here's the main reason why I wanted to never have children. I did not want to have to participate in The Big Easter Lie. How could I teach a child to value the truth, when every Easter, I would have to tell her that a large, upright walking rabbit, had dropped eggs all over our front yard while we had been sleeping?

An egg-laying rabbit? Rabbits are mammals; they have wabbity bweasts for nursing their young. They lovingly place them under cabbage leaves at birth. They don't drop them from an ovipositor. And they hippity flippin' hop, they don't walk around like the guy on the Johnny Walker Red Whiskey label. Only a kid taught biology from a Texas school book could believe such things. Surely a child who was half-mine, or adopted by me, would be smarter than the average Fort Worth fourth-grader.

I mean, wouldn't it make sense for a chocolate peep to fly around dropping eggs for the little candy grubbers? That at least makes some sense, from a reproductive consistency standpoint.

Thanks for reading.
