Happy Easter!

I spent about fifteen minutes yesterday explaining the Easter Bunny to the maid, who is from Mexico. Have you ever realized how silly the whole concept sounds?

Daughter is coming over for Easter dinner, and of course I have bought her Peeps, a chocolate rabbit, and the little Cadbury eggs she likes. She may have grown up, but I haven't.

This morning I went outside first thing and shouted,"Happy Easter! Christ is risen!" I've been doing the same thing on Easter for at least twenty years---except for the time I accidentally shouted "Happy Easter! Christ is born!" The kids have never let me forget that one.
