Before I say a word, you have to go over here and read this post from a year ago. Seriously, go. THAT is where this story starts.
You back now? Cool. That video made you think my kid is coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs, didn't it? Me, too.
(Spoiler alert: SHE IS. It's an adorable brand of crazy, though.)
I gave that whole Easter Bunny encounter approximately 3.477222 seconds of thought. Crazy kids think they see crazy things. End of story. Game over. Let's move on to the next bit of insanity, mmkay?
Alexis, however, gave it a whole lot of thought. She dwelled and she processed and she thunk on it. Over and over. Again and again. I didn't realize it at the time, but I found out was we were gathered around a table with several of our friends. We had just been snow tubing and Alexis was munching on some caramel corn as she made sure everyone knew every single thing she was thinking.
She will develop a voice that only she can hear eventually, right? Just say yes, even if you have to lie to me.
Anyway, the child was rambling on and on and somehow ended up on the topic of the Easter Bunny. I expected to hear her start making demands about all of the things he should deliver with his handy basket, but instead she reminisced back to that time he was up in her loft touching her things.
"If I see the Easter Bunny again, I'm going to kick him in the balls."
She said that. Out loud. While surrounded by grown-ups.
We all lost it in the most spectacular way possible. Nobody could make eye contact with anybody and I was literally crying from trying so very hard not to laugh. I completely failed and ended up trying to explain to Alexis that it's not nice to threaten the Easter Bunny's -er- manhood like that between guffaws.
I'm pretty sure she missed the point. I don't even know if I made a point. You know, what with all of the laughing and everything.
So if you happen to own a bunny suit, might I suggest leaving it in the closet for a bit? I know I asked if I could borrow it so I could get some sleep, but I value my manhood (and yours!) more than I value sleep.
