Job Approval

As I mentioned in an earlier post, the story is out on the Easter Bunny.  Here's a follow up:

On Easter morning, before church started, Sarah told me: "Mom, you were a good Easter Bunny.  You did a good job."

I smiled, thanked her, and thought we were done.  Have I learned nothing over the past 14 years?

During the sacrament (when everyone is quiet and prayerful) she said: "Did you wear bunny ears when you put out the baskets?"

Since we do own bunny ears, and I just wanted her to be quiet, I nodded yes and said "Ssshh!"

Thinking I had dodged a bullet, I relaxed slightly, but about a minute later she asked: "Mom, did you have a bunny tail?"

I have no idea what people thought we were talking about, and I probably don't want to know.  "No!" I whispered.  "Please, stop talking during sacrament!"

"But why not?  Why didn't you wear a tail?" she practically shouted.  At this point, I just shot her mom death-eye daggers, and thankfully, she took the hint.

I can only hope that her voice doesn't carry as well as I think it does, and that her speech is not intelligible to the casual listener.  Or maybe we're just the church-time entertainment.

Oh wow! This was hilarious! Would've been funny to be sitting in the pew behind you. ;)
