Happy Easter everyone. I hope you all had a egg-cellent day! Good grief I’m corny.

My kids, of course looked damn spectacular because they are spectacular looking children (can you tell I’m the mom?). Pfft well they are dagnabbit. That’s my word for the day because it rhymes with rabbit and well you know.. Easter and all.

Okay, got a question for those of you poor folks who haven’t given completely up on me posting here and still come around some to see if my leaden fingers gained any agility and actually typed something. I asked this same question of my kiddos yesterday and was just really shocked by the variety of answers I got from them and their budros…

In your mind when you think of the Easter Bunny, what do you picture him/her/it to look like?

Personally, I have always visualized a “mascot” looking bunny type dude, which let me tell you COMPLETELY traumatized by 7 year old. Geez, I think I caused the child to picture something out of “Night of the Lepus” which imdb describes as “Giant mutant rabbits terrorize the southwest!!” They only showed the HUGE & BIG, killer lepus/rabbits as shadows because it was made back before special effects became a requirement of the movie world.

Anywhoo… here is what my crew pictures…

16 year old son: Bunny from Donnie Darko (he is such a freak)

15 year old son: He also pictures a “mascot” looking bunny dude but he thinks he is pink with a blue belly.

7 year old daughter: A cartoon bunny of course! He’s white with a big pink nose and huge floppy ears. He wears a blue bow tie with purple polka dots and is otherwise naked. He also carries a huge basket full of yellow, pink and blue eggs. Oh! And he is not a smoker.. no idea where that came from but whatever, it was important for her to know that I knew that or something.

Various others: Trix cereal rabbit, a little gray bunny, a real looking white bunny with one brown ear and a brown spot over one eye, Bugs Bunny, Jessica Rabbit, Chucky with real long ears (you know the killer doll) that one obviously came from a friend of the 16 year old visualizing the Donnie Darko rabbit, etc.

So what does the Easter Bunny look like in your mind?

While you are pondering that here is a little comedy for you from Robin Williams. There was no way I was going to use Jefferson Airplane’s White Rabbit for fear I would puke.. so this is as close as I could get to a “theme” song.

Robin Williams does an “Elmer Fudd singing a song” parody of Bruce Springsteen.. Elmer Fudd was always after Bugs Bunny.. ya know what I mean? “Spring”steen, Easter marks the beginning of Spring kinda… Easter.. bunny… get it? Okay, it’s a stretch I grant you that but it works for me and doesn’t make me want to puke.
