make-believe: easter bunny

I used to believe…

When my parents decided I was old enough to give up my pacifier (my binky!) they told me I had to leave it in my Easter basket the night before Easter, so the Easter Bunny could take it and give it to children who needed a binky. I believed them, and the Easter bunny left me extra candy that year since I was such a generous child.

I used to believe the Easter Bunny is real. Now I know it just my parents. Oh well, I still get chocolate. :D

i used to believe that the easter bunny would come in to my room and i was scared

When i was young my friend told me she saw a truck thats had easter eggs painted on it. She saw a huge pink bunny hop out, go in her house and then put some chocolate eggs in a basket. Then he hopped in his truck and drove away. We both used to belive after that o well we were young and childish.

I believe that the Easter Bunny could be true because when I was younger ( 12 right now) i thought I heard hopping and he left fur.

Everyone knows you're supposed to leave milk and cookies out for Santa. My parents convinced me that I should leave hard-boiled eggs out for the Easter Bunny too, or I wouldn't get any candy. One Easter morning, I was surprised to find the egg shell left where the egg had been, along with a thoughtful thank-you note from the Easter Bunny! However, I quickly recognized the Easter Bunny's handwriting as my mom's, and my illusions were shattered right then and there.

When I was little my teacher told the class Santa was not real. I remember how crushed I was that day. Little did I know, 4 months later my entire world would come crashing down, when they told me the Easter bunny wasn't real either.

i used to believe that the easter bunny was evil in every way and that he had fangs and would come and kill you if you were awake on the evening of holy saturday... and i thought the only way you could kill him was by chopping off his foot. then a new one would be born, BUT if you carried the foot around with you then no easter bunny could ever kill you again... hence the "lucky rabbits foot"... i was a stupid kid who put things together in the weirdest ways...

When I was younger, me, my cousin and my brother were fooled by our Grandparents every week when they put little chocolate eggs under the settees and said: "The Easter Bunny and the Easter Chicken have been!" A couple of years later they stopped doing it to us but instead our cousins were in on the joke.

The most surprising thing was, the year this stopped, something strange happened to me. I saw a six-foot-figure just outside my door on Easter morning. My parents were sleeping, and my brother wasn't six foot (he was four). For many years, since I was six when I saw this, I thought the Easter Bunny and Chicken had come back for me! But now I think it was a paranormal discovery. I'd never been so terrified in my life!

When i was little i used to think that if you hugged the easter bunny at the mall you would get the chicken pox i never hugged the easter bunny and never got the chicken pox

I never used to get presents for Easter, then I was talking to my cousin one day and she told me she got presents from the Easter Bunny and I wondered why the Easter Bunny never gave me any presents. Later I told my parents about this and they suggested that I write a letter to the Easter Bunny and leave it somewhere for him to find, so I did that. Next Easter, I got presents.

haha alright i have three...
-i used to think that the easter bunny lived a house down from us just because it was white, cause easter bunnies are white.. so you know. so when easter came around id always be like yeaaaaaah! the easter bunny is gonna be coming to our house FIRST! woo! and i was always like yeah im gonna get my chocolate and candies before anyone elseeee! i believed this for sooo long! but yeah i dont know why i thought this, i kinda think my mom said something about it.. oh well.. but still to this day whenever i look at the house im always like oh wow, what was i thinking.. but seriously i see someone come out of that house like twice a year.. so i dunno whats going on over there!
-one time i was in my sisters room, i was like 5-ish and i dont remember what i was doing... but i was seatching through my sisters stuff and she used to have posters of bands all over her wall.. and when i was in there it seemed like the people in the posters were looking at me.. and if i moved, their eyes would follow me.. and i was like oh noo! theyre gonna tell my sister that im here! and i got so scared and ran out like there was no tomorrow.. and i remember walking by her room later and sort of looking in and shuttering cause i was scared of the poster people.
-okay so you know how theres that type of bird called a blue jay? and you know how there was a blue jays baseball team? i used to think those were somehow related and whenever i saw a blue jay id be like "hey, mom! its one of those baseball birds!" and yeah i always thought the birds would play baseball.. wow i got so mixed up. hahah.

I used to believe that the Easter Bunny was a bunch of men from the Elks club that went all around the twons dressed in bunny suits and driving old Trucks.

One Easter when I was five my parents stenciled out giant bunny footprints from the sidewalk leading up to my house and to my door where on the dorrmat two big white blotches made it look like he had wiped his feet there, and for the longest time I thought my brother and sister and I were the coolest kids on the block because we were the only house with footprints so the easter bunny only came to visit us!

I used to believe…

The very first easter egg hunt that I ever went to was with my little friend in his back yard. My parents had given me a basket and told me to "go find the eggs for the easter bunny". So, I went and found all the eggs that I could.
My parents were talking after all the eggs were found, they heard something (apparently) and went to check it out.
They discovered me, yelling "Here Easter Bunny!" And throwing the eggs into the garden. Apparently I had believed that the eggs were FOR the easter bunny to eat, and he couldn't find them by himself.
(my parents recently related this story to me, I thought it was quite funny)

I used to beleive that I f I didnt spend at least an hour a day, I would be on the easte bunnys bad side. cause you know rabbits live outside...yeah.
