EASTER BUNNY! EATER BUNNY! COME OUT. COME OUT WHERE EVER YOU ARE…” Kaden is yelling through cupped hands in the middle of the mall. It appears the ole E.B. is on a break. Kaden continues yelling through his cupped hands around his mouth as he circles the area looking up and down and through the spring scene of flowers and trees.
“I’ve got a great idea!” he states. “Why don’t I sit right here and wait?” He hops up onto the bench where he has seen the Easter Bunny the three previous visits to the mall. He sits and waits. I am grateful the yelling and bunny hunt came to an end. Soon here comes the bunny and his helper. She obviously recognizes him from our last visit. She gives a big grin in my direction and the bunny waves to Kaden.
I inhale deeply and hope we don’t repeat the conversation from last week. Let me recap:
Where are all of your babies?” He asks the Easter Bunny. He looked all around. I explained he may not have any babies.
“Easter Bunny? Easter Bunny? Why are you not talking to me?!” He is becoming annoyed.
He curiously speaks, “I just wanna know where your pee-pee is.”
Wait. What? Did he just say…? Yes he did. I just heard him repeat himself.
The helper laughed out loud. The Easter Bunny who doesn’t speak utters a few audible noises.
I tell Kade we need to leave. I bring no attention to what he said. Kade agrees and waves goodbye. He yells back he mailed a letter to him the day before. Yes, we have ‘mailed’ several notes to Mr. Bunny.
On the way home Kade asks again why the Easter Bunny doesn’t have a pee-pee. He accepts my very simple explanation that all pee-pees are different. Like the girls (our dogs) we cannot see the Easter Bunny’s pee-pee. Thank goodness he was totally 100% okay with this justification.
Returning to our current day visit:
He just wanted to make sure he was getting the letters and wish him a Happy Easter.
This Easter story will become a family classic at all the Easter dinners to come!
