Easter Egg Hunt, the First
April 11, 2012
It was brutal!
I shouted, “May the odds be ever in your favor!” Which just drew confused looks from my two youngest since they haven’t read the books or seen the movie.
My sweet, sweet daughter gave her entire bag of found eggs to a little girl who was sobbing, having arrived moments too late to the hunt. I was so proud of her. I told her that when we went back home I would give her some candy since she had been so generous.
I went into my closet, where the Easter candy stash had been hiding, and brought her out some jellybeans, a cadbury egg, some peanut butter cups… she looked at it all and said, “Is this candy that you were just going to put in my Easter basket tomorrow?”
“Of course not, “I assured her,”This is what I was going to put in your brothers’ Easter baskets.”

April 11th, 2012 at 10:05 pmMan, that’s when you know you’ve raised them well. I think if my daughter did that (if i had one) i’d burst into proud, happy tears and freak everyone out!

April 13th, 2012 at 11:09 pmLove this–both your daughter’s action, and your later response! Perfect.
