Mama Didn't Raise No Fool or Happy Easter

“The Easter Bunny doesn’t exist,” Jacob announced this afternoon.

“Oh yeah,” I said. “How’s that?”

“Easter is about Jesus dying on the cross and rising again,” he said, with calculated wisdom. 
 
“That’s right,” I said, neither confirming or denying his suspicions about the Easter Bunny.

“You know what else?” he continued. “Santa Claus doesn’t exist either.”

I answered this one with my well-rehearsed line: “Santa Claus comes to those who believe.”

He smiled slyly. “Okay,” he said, “but I know the Tooth Fairy’s not real. I have proof.”


It’s hard to argue with an unclaimed baby incisor.



Happy Easter to you all.  May your day be filled with happiness and enlightenment.

  3. Our tooth fairy seems to loose the directions to our house every time and it takes her and I a while to communicate! Hope your Easter was grand!
