We’re sitting in the hot tub one night when the conversation goes something like this.

Clare: “How long does it take the Easter Bunny to deliver all the eggs around the world?”

Me: “I don’t know what do you think?”

Clare: “Four days.”

Me: “How do you know that for sure and since when do bunnies lay eggs anyway?”

Clare: “I know because my friend Alex told me.”

Me: “But bunnies don’t lay eggs. It should be the Easter Chicken. Chickens lay eggs.”

Clare: “Yes, they can, the eggs come out of their butts.”

Me: “That’s not where eggs come from. Turtles lay eggs out of their butts. It might as well be the Easter Turtle.”

Clare: “That’s the silliest thing I’ve ever heard. It’s the Easter Bunny.”

Me: “I still think it should be the Easter Chicken. You never answered my question. How does he do it all in four days?”

Clare: “He has a jet.”

Me: “No, I don’t think that’s it. I bet he’s a chick. Chicks produce eggs and are really organized. Only a chick could get all that done in four days. I think we should start a petition.”

Clare: “Not everything has to be a competition, Mom.”

Me: “Not a competition, a petition to change it from the Easter Bunny to the Easter Chicken.”

Clare: “Awww, Mom!”

This week’s #HappyAct is to sign our petition to change the Easter Bunny to the Easter Chicken. Egg laying creatures of the world unite.
