Hippity Hoppity



Wanna know how my two sons are different? Here it is in a nutshell (or rather, an Easter egg)…

We were in the Natick Mall yesterday (I know, I know—they call it the Natick Collection now. But it's the Natick Mall. They need to get over themselves). As we strolled down the mall, we neared the area where you can get your picture taken with the Easter Bunny.

"Hey, look guys!" I said. "The Easter Bunny."

Jak-El's grip tightens on my hand and he takes a step back. "No, Mom. Can we just go? Let's just move. Can we just go?"

Dan-El, meanwhile, is fascinated. His eyes widen and he smiles and points at the bunny with glee, and then drags his dad over for a closer look.

"Mom! Let's just go!" Jak-El pleads. I take him into a nearby store.

The Easter Bunny, meanwhile, is ready to take his 2:30 break and go get his drink on, or whatever bunnies do when they go back to their bunny hole. He starts to walk away down the mall.

Dan-El is distressed. He breaks free of his father's grip and runs down the mall after the rabbit. Luckily, the husband catches Dan-El before he tackles the bunny.

Wonder what Dan-El would have done if he caught that wascally wabbit?

I take it Dan-El is the younger of the two? Cute story! Sadly, we didn't visit the Easter Bunny this year for pictures, it came up so fast on us this year, you know? I don't think we'll get a chance to this week.

Yep, Dan-El is 2, Jak-El is 5.

Jak-El told me this morning that he knows it's just an adult in a costume, and that he did want to *see* him, he just didn't want to talk to him.

I can understand...that's kind of how I'd feel if I got in 10 feet of Joan Rivers. Y'know...interesting to see from a distance, but for the love of god, don't come near me, you weirdo!

There is no such thing as Joan Rivers -- it's just an adult in a costume.

Natick? Not Natick as in Natick, Massachusetts, I hope? You're supposed to live in "Imaginary Cardiff, United Kingdom!"

Say it ain't so, Lo!

Next thing you'll be telling me is that IANO doesn't really live in Flint, Michigan!

Dear Lois,

Years ago my buddy Hoagy was a department store Easter Bunny.

Just so you know.

Really. He was also a Santa.

Really.

Hi Cake!
Song stuck in head? My job here is done.

Hi Lamont!
Thank goodness! Maybe now my nightmares will stop.

Hi David!
The Natick Mall is so cool we swim across the pond to go there on weekends.

Hi IANO!
Hoagy is the Easter Bunny? And Santa? Yep, now I *really* don't believe he exists.

Query: Did the Easter Bunny look perky or was it kind of a Death-of-a-Salesman lookin' Easter Bunny?

Hey Sparkle!
Yes, the Natick *Collection.* Google it if you haven't been there recently. They is really gettin' upppity.

Y'know, I can't really say how spiffy the rabbit was. Jak-El dragged me off before I could get a close look. But honestly, most mall Easter Bunnies look kinda molty to me.

BTW, Natick called it the "Spring Bunny," as if that would fool all the non-Christians into spending $15 to get their kid photographed with the thing. Get with it....it's the *Easter* Bunny.

In December, come see the "Generic Fat Guy in a Red Suit!"

(And no, IANO, it won't be Al Gore.)

How about Roger Clemens in a Santa Claus suit? I'd like to see that, then pelt him with eggs.
