How my house was attacked......by the Easter Bunny

You know, every parent at some point in their parenthood tells really big lies to their kids and then enjoys the stress of watching it spiral out of control.  Not to mention the stress of trying to remember the crap you've fed your kids in the past so as not to fuck up in the future!

It of course starts with the lore of Santa.  How he comes into your homes, what he does when someone does not have a fireplace, and when he comes by.  Then there is the treacherous mean spirited bugger that is the Leprechaun...although i have yet to introduce him to our home!

But, this year, as with every year since my kids were born I have told them of the Easter Bunny.  My oldest never questioned, and my youngest was armed with a million of them this year.  So I had to cleverly come up with the answer of where the Bunny lives and makes the candy while at the cash register of the local Wal-mart with a line full of parents buying these Easter paraphernalia (which he did not miss seeing) for their unsuspecting children and not blow my own cover!

I seem to remember something about a den in the ground, and after he asked why he couldn't go there to steal the candy himself, I believe I replied that because his location was a secret that no one knows about.

You think that stopped my boy from asking more??    Hell, NO!

I had to then compare it to Santa, we know where Santa lives and there is no fear of those gifts being stolen because it is too cold in the North Pole for anyone to be able to find him and steal the presents away.

Anyway, after the millions of questions and the answers that finally satisfied them I had to keep up appearances on the home front.

The Easter Bunny left plastic eggs with candies in them and little chocolates all over the house.  Stairs, Plants, Tabletops, in the kitchen even!  But the little devil had a hard time getting up onto the dining table and knocked down a dining chair!

Wow, the boys didn't know what in the world had run through our house and wrecked it!!  The had theories of the size of the bunny that had wreaked havoc in our home, although neither of them came even close to the approximately 210 lbs rabbit that in actual fact hid the candy!  SHHHHH

Don't anyone tell!!
