Today was Easter. Although I am not of a Christian faith I choose to celebrate it anyway. My kids love it, and it's just a lot of fun. Plus, the candy is delicious! The "Easter Bunny" hid the kids baskets and eggs. My little angel seemed to remember this from last year because she spotted most the eggs as if she had a sniper site attached to her little face.
I did have one little interesting surprise, however. So, my husband and I decided to get my son a pricey Pokemon game he has been lusting after and give it as a gift to him, from the two of us. In the true spirit of Easter, I decided to hide it. I had carefully placed it in a gift bag and hung it from the back of the bathroom door from the knob. I told him it could be anywhere in the house and to go find it. I should have mentioned to him that my room was off limits. The only hint I gave him was to look for something bright green, as this was the color of the gift bag.
After about three minutes has passed he comes bolting down the stairs proudly holding my rather fancy, and rather phallic, bright blue "personal massager."
"This is bright blue, so this has to be it, right!" he said thrusting it into the air.
"NO!" I said to him with my eyes the size of frying pans, "go put that back where you found it," i told him as calmly as I could. He ran it back upstairs and my husband and I looked at each other and bursted into uproarious laughter. I hollered back up the stairs to him, "it's not in my room!"
I really hope he doesn't retain this memory as he gets older, or he is going to be scarred for life.
