Note #20 - How do you celebrate Easter? And, what is the most memorable thing you ever did with your kids for the holiday?
How about the most memorable thing I did TO my kids?
When my daughter was around 4, she was trying to decide if she believed in the Easter Bunny. She was really questioning, and her questions were very grown up and logical. Her grandfather indicated that if she didn't believe, she wouldn't get any candy. (Grrr)
We had gone on many walks through the woods and she knew what different animal poops looked like . So, I put some raisenettes on the floor.
She woke up on Easter morning, hesitant to come out of her room, afraid to see no candy basket. Her eyes lit up when she saw that there was a basket. Then she looked down.
" Ewww"" says daughter " That looks like.. it coudn't be. Ewwww "
So, I pick a few up. I say " It sure looks like bunny poop". She agreed.
I sniff. " Sorta smells like Easter Bunny poop". She was partially intrigued, partially grossed out.
Then I popped the raisenettes into my mouth. She screamed.
I said. " Oh wow Guess what? The Easter Bunny poops CHOCOLATE".
Not even 24 hours into a forum I joined and I got 3 infractions!
1. I said I was a Catholic. Therefore, I hate the Blessed Mother. (??? I don't.)
2. I was called a Satan worshiper and a member of an occult because I watch anime and play video games. (Quote from my introduction: I like watching anime.... one of my faves is Lucky Star [A slice of life show about 4 girls in high school]) (Also from my intro: I like playing games from the Fire Emblem series (You're a knightly person and you have to save the land from an evil wizard/king) and the Mario series. (You're a plumber stomping on trutles to save the princess))
3, I was called a foul-mouthed B**** because (And I quote!)
Somedude: Y'know, opinions are like buttholes. Everyone has one, yours stinks.
Me: Ok then! However, that saying could apply to anyone.
Ah well. I didn't need them anyway. I've got my parents and a good Church!
...Still hurts to be called a ***** and a demon worshiper.
BTW, my parents let me play/watch the stuff I was talking about.

PK, in this life, you will have to let the opinions of a lot of people roll off your back. As you grow up and the years pass, your belief system will be under scrutiny. People who say bad things about you when you are doing your best to be a good person don't require any explanation from you. Stand strong.
