"Holy S*** There is an Easter Bunny" was the words that came out of my 8 year olds mouth.
Needless to say that did not go over to well, and he got a taste of something and it wasn't Easter candy.
Now the story which leads to the statement:
My son is in second grade and has a classmate whose parents do not believe in the Easter Bunny, Santa, Tooth Fairy. Their son has been telling all his classmates "The Truth" and making fun of them for believing in such foolish things.
We still try and let him believe in the EB, TF & Santa, but he was really in a pickle because he still wanted to believe but was getting the peer pressure not to believe.
Saturday late evening my MIL's boyfriend called and said that the MIL was slurring her speech and now not responsive. So we called 911 and met the ambulance there. She was taken to the local hospital where we sat and waited and waited and waited for them to decide what was going on.
Finally at 1:45 Easter Sunday morning they were going to transfer her to UC (University of Cincinnati)
My son was so tired and had been sleeping curled up in a chair beside me, I carried him to the car and placed him in with my wife.
When we got home I woke him up and let him go into the house first. As he entered the living room....
The Easter Bunny had made it why we ALL were at the hospital, he was so stoked that there was an Easter Bunny he wanted to call Keenan right then and there.
He knew it was the real Easter Bunny because ALL 3 of us were at the hospital all night and no one left.
He also knew it was the real EB because he set a trap for him. Sure enough all over the bathroom floor was a fine layer of powder, and tracked throughout the kitchen and master bedroom was white "EB" tracks.
It took about 10 minutes to find everything, and by minute 15 he was sound asleep, passed out clutching his easter basket, snoring so loudly.
