Some mothers give their children Christmas-morning sized Easter baskets with the associated presents. Me? Not so much.
Some mothers bake their children cookies for April Fool's with extra salt as a trick. Me? Not so much.
On the other hand, some mothers check their email at 8am on April first and say, "Oh no! There was a water main break at your school and they had to cancel school today!"
And then while everyone is cheering, THAT Mother starts to laugh until they all say, "OH NO!" and realize what just happened.
And THAT same mother, instead of mountains of wrapped presents, the Easter bunny at her house leaves this in the upstairs hallway...
You are a very STRANGE person, Kit!

Oh, that's a great April-fools. I had an ex-girlfriend who sent out an email, as she was a first year student in an all-girl's college that she had been living a lie - that she wasn't a girl at all, but was, in fact, a gay man. The number of people who took her seriously was...disturbing.
I'll never understand the people who go all-out for Easter presents. Heck, I barely survive the Christmas stresses as it is.

Maybe next year just a rabbit skeleton, with ears and fuzzy tail.

You're brilliant.
PS: I have never given my daughter an Easter basket filled with toys and candy. She's lucky she gets an egg hunt. LOL

This year I was too hung over to hide the goodies, so I made Mr. Bunny do it. He never thought to hide the chocolates out of the reach of our dog. Tears all around. Friggin' amateur.
