Talmage came into my bathroom, where I was brushing my teeth, and announced, "There is no Easter Bunny." I was caught off guard and asked him to teach me about it. He then went on to explain that the Easter Bunny is too small to carry Easter baskets and eggs to all the children in the world in one night, so he must really be Santa. Wow, that's some logic.
Some time later Anya was informing me that you know when the Easter Bunny comes to your house because you feel it jump on your head and it leaves an egg. Talmage couldn't stand Anya actually believing in the Easter Bunny so he, in no uncertain terms, declared that the Easter Bunny is NOT real and that it is really Santa that comes and we pretend it is the Easter Bunny.

I think Talmage's logic is very sound. It explains a lot to me actually. I never have understood the concept of the Easter Bunny. I saw a version of the Easter Bunny in the Mall on Saturday, and I just don't buy that concept of a life-size bunny. I'm with Talmage; it must be Santa. I just wish I had figured that out 20 years ago. :)
That's too funny. Good thing you asked for him to tell you about it. It was the Easter Bunny not being real that convinced me that Santa was NOT real either, for I recognized my mom's handwriting. And, the tooth fairy not coming when I sneakily lost a tooth, but decided not to tell my dad was a pretty big clue too. I was much older than Talmage, though, sad to say. But, it is fortunate that the Easter Bunny has validated Santa for a couple more years.
