Who doesn’t love Easter Egg hunts? Hiding and finding Easter eggs, Easter bunnies, mini eggs, large eggs… It’s great for parents and children alike. Some might even call it fun. Here is our story…
This story is part of our Special Occasions series.
The Worst Easter Egg Hunt Ever!
Tomos (Aged 8)...
I love chocolate. I mean I actually love chocolate. I just love all things sweet and sugary. I am totally the Willy Wonka of our family.
And Easter is full of chocolatey options – from gooey cream filled eggs to chocolate bunnies. And it’s the only time of the year that we combine cereal and chocolate to make those crispy cake things – sometimes there are even marshmallows. Mwah!
I do not like – loathe, hate, dislike, detest – our current Easter activity. Just imagine for a moment, waking up on Easter Sunday, full of joy, excitement, anticipation – to see which Easter Eggs you have been given… to find an empty table.
Well not quite an empty table – there is one sole telltale envelope with our names on it. And I know. I know exactly who is to blame for this tragedy.
Luc.
He’s done it again. Stolen all the eggs? You might be thinking for he is sneaky like that.
No its much more sneaky than a simple egg heist. He’s roped in the grown-ups and got them to steal all the eggs. And then he’s got them to write clues and hide them all around the house and garden. An Easter Egg Hunt they call it. And for what you may ask? For FUN.
For Fun?!?
I’ll tell you what is fun. Fun is counting how many Easter Eggs you have. Fun is seeing which one is the biggest and how much extra stuff is inside!
Fun is EATING the Easter Eggs.
Fun is not going on an Easter Egg Hunt trying to break Daddy’s ridiculous clues while everyone else is having so much FUN.
What’s orange and sounds like a parrot?
Is it my Easter Egg? No? Then I don’t care. The only ‘orange’ I care about is chocolate orange eggs. The only parrot I’m interested in is one that will tell me where my Easter Eggs are.
“A carrot!” Luc shouts gleefully. I’m pretty sure Mummy told him that.
A carrot – a carrot on Easter morning – is there anything worse?
They ask me what’s wrong? They actually have to ask me what’s wrong!!
Wrong?!?
I don't want to have to hunt for my food.
Not for my vegetables, not for fruit, not for my breakfast, lunch or dinner. And especially not for my Easter eggs.
