That Scary Easter Bunny

A woman smiling, seated in a chair with two children in her lap. One is a tiny baby who is screaming her head of, and the other is a toddler holding on tightly. The reason for this is that behind them is a person in a full-body Easter bunny suit. The eyes are particularly terrifying and make the Easter bunny look like an alien.

Easter Bunny costumes are weird. I mean, did you ever see a human-sized rabbit costume that wasn’t frightening?

Easters through the years…

I wrote a post earlier today on my new Substack about Easter egg hunting, so I won’t repeat it here except to say that if you are a friend, you’d be helping me out if you’d subscribe to my Substack (It’s free.) and share it with your friends. I have a new book coming out, and I’m trying to build a following, so every little bit helps. I do my best not to overdo it or send too many posts, but you can always opt out or mute me if I get out of control! Click the button below to go to my Substack account.

The featured image for this post is one I searched high and low for this morning. For whatever reason, I could not find it, but when I looked for it just now, there it was. Right where I thought it should be. The universe? Algorithms? Have they started talking to each other and deciding what I should post where?

While I was searching for the quintessential Easter Bunny photo, I came across another one that wasn’t scary… THIS bunny belonged to my younger daughter, one of those special toys that took on a life of its own like The Velveteen Rabbit. Younger daughter turned up without Bunny one day, and swore she never knew what happened to him. I think he went down the potty, but at least Jacqui captured a good likeness before it was too late!
