My daughter told me I did not have the Easter spirit. After I spent approximately $4,827 on a shopping spree for Easter candy and flowers for the yard, I almost qualified until she realized I wouldn’t let her get a package of The Most Evil Thing Ever Created By Man. (Plastic Easter grass.) Easter grass that can hide in corners, closets, under furniture, appearing again around July 4th to get caught in the vacuum cleaner and be hurled up in a furrball by our cat. Yeah, that stuff. NOT GETTING IT.
She is undeterred in her Easter spirit, however. She came home, planted flowers, counted out how many plastic eggs a piece they’d have for the egg hunt, then started in on the Easter chocolate. Tomorrow I’ll make an egg hunt in the yard–I always try to make it as difficult as possible. My oldest son loves horror movies, so I make him the “Michael Myers” egg hunt where I hide his eggs in the woods or in the shed behind deadly gardening implements etc. Who says I have no Easter spirit???
