make-believe: easter bunny

I am the youngest of 9 children and when I was 4 years old, we went to my grandparents' house for Easter Sunday, like always, where we were supposed to get our Easter baskets. Of course, the older kids knew there was no Easter Bunny, but I had no idea. When we got there, my oldest siblings took my Easter basket and hid it. When everyone went to grab their Easter baskets and mine was missing, my brother pulled me aside and explained that the Easter Bunny was a hoax--the "bunny" was actually an Easter Turtle who delivered baskets based on the age of the recipient and, being a turtle, he was too slow to deliver mine. I cried until my parents made my siblings return my basket, but they insisted all year that the Easter Bunny was a turtle. About three weeks before Easter the next year, I started mailing letters to the Easter Turtle reminding him to please send my basket with all my brothers' and sisters'. The mail man must have thought I was crazy.

I used to believe…

Out of all the make-believe characters from childhood, the Easter Bunny was the one I maintained belief in longest. For some reason, a fat man with presents or a fairy that took my teeth seems silly, but an anthropomorphic rabbit that brought colored eggs and chocolate made total sense to me.

I used to believe…

when i was reallly little and i went to go get my picture taken with the easter bunny..my mom told me.."its ok maddy he is just going to come into our house tonight....etc...." but i thought she ment like sneek in and do something horrible....not leave me presents...so i started crying and didnt wanna go near him....it was really hard to go to sleep that night......

i used to belive the easter bunny pooped out the eggs.


also, every year when i was little, my sister and i would wake up at dawn and force our perants to wake-up and see what the 'easter bunny' left. well then my mom would always say, look outside and say good-bye to the easter bunny! so we would. but dogs would always poop on our sidewalk and my perants would joke around saying 'look! another present from the easter bunny!' so my sister and i belived he really did poop on our sidewalk..

When I was 6 or 7 I was seriously terrified of the easter bunny. So it was Saturday night and i was just dying! I kept crying and crying I was soo scared. My mom told me to go to bed and I obeyed. Soon after that i went downstairs and no one was down there. I was so scared. In my head i was thinking, "I'm gonna stop that bunny from getting anywhere near here." I kept walking around the house and looking out for, "Him". I heard a noise coming from upstairs. So I hid behind the hallway entrance. I saw a figure coming down stairs and once it passed me I leaped at it and attacked it. Figures, it was my dad.

I believed that if you have Easter baskets out in the living room while you're sleeping, the Easter bunny would wiggle his nose, which made him pop in, put presents in the baskets, wiggle his nose, then he'd magically disappear.

When I was about 8, when I woke up on Easter morning i ran to the living room and looked out the window, my sister was out there with a bag full of eggs @_@
I screamed at her, shouting that she couldn't take any eggs until we both started the hunt, and my sister then came in the house and said that the easter bunny wasn't real. I burst into tears and shouted that the bunny was real, then my mum took me into my dads room and he told me the truth about santa, easter bunny, tooth fairy, etc.
That ruined my day.

when i was in 1st grade mt wonderful father told me that the Easter bunny peed on all the Easter candy. . . i didn't eat jelly beans for years especially the yellow ones

i thought the eatser bunny was real,and santa,too,lmao, but my parents and family members told me on xmas eve night,lmfao

I used to belive that the easter bunny lived under my closet floor.

When i was little i use to believe that the easter bunny contoled the traffic lights , so every time we were at a red light i use to ask the easter bunny to hurry up and change the light LOL

When I was little I used to believe that my Dad killed teh Easter Bunny.One year when I was 2, my Dad set up a huge, and I mean HUGE, Easter Bunny Rabbit, and he put it on the floor.He laid is gun by it(that looked like it had been just fired), covered the thing in ketchup, and put a basket full of easter eggs, and candy, and stuff by it!I believed him til' I was like 13!I'm 13 now by the way...

I used to believe that how the easter bunny got around he jumped and could like fly when he jumped.I also though that New Years and Valentines Day had characters too.I used to believe a little elf and puppet came to dance in the fireplace on New Years.(it came from a dream)And I though on Valentines day while I was sleeping cupid would fly threw my house.

I used to believe that all the Easter Bunny could grant me magical powers. I figured, if the Easter Bunny has magical powers, and he gives things to people, then maybe he could grant me magical powers, too. Many Easters did I attempt to catch him. One year I even wrote him a letter!

I used to believe…

when i was little i would always pick my mom's flowers, so my daddy told me that i couldnt do that anymore because the easter bunny always came by our house and ate the flowers i put in vases!
