Bunny Ruse

 I'm having a hard time playing up the Easter Bunny to my kids. First of all I'm a terrible liar. Secondly I was never a huge fan of his work. I don't think I ever believed that he was hopping down the bunny trail to deliver me Peeps and Topps baseball cards. However an elf living in the North Pole with a team of flying reindeer seemed more plausible to me. Plus he brought kick ass stuff. The Easter Bunny never brought video games or a new bike.I just didn't want to crush my Mother's enthusiasm for the holiday so I let the charade continue until I was about 17. I put a stop to it when I started getting magazine subscriptions and athletic socks nestled in the phony plastic grass of my Easter basket.
