omigod, i had a total sedaris moment in my evening hogwon class!!! it was just me and the girls ( which was awesome...) and we were taling about holidays and traditions ( supre interesting stuff about funerals here) aaaand, we got onto xmas, santa, etc. talkin about in the US kids sitting on santa's lap. and they nod, yes we have that here... discuss funny stories of santas being beaten up etc. THEN i bring up the easter bunny. they look puzzled.
" bunny? a rabbit?"
( inside i am laughing hysterically already) i say "yes" and make the international sign for rabbit ears above my head. " he gives chocolate and eggs to the children. and at the mall children can sit on the rabbit's lap, like santa."
they nod seriously. we are all obviously holding back laughter at this point.
"but why? why does a rabbit come? why a rabbit?"
" i don't know... i guess because it's springtime? well, in france, a bell brings the candy..."
the jesus. he nice.
but a bell. that's just fucked up.

Heads up! There's a band practice this Sunday morning. We're all meeting at the abandoned church where we were victorious over Dr. Zion's evil zombie hordes.
