Easter Memo

Even though malls pollute my soul, I did venture into one today. Almost anything that is normally off limits is ok if you do it with someone who has cancer. Did you know that? It’s true. We went in search of hats from the Gap (for her) and sandals (for me). Also, as I told some people at the love feast yesterday, it's ok to shop on Good Friday if you boycott shopping on Black Friday. This maintains the natural balance of commerce and religion. Or something.

While there, we saw a strange sight. A human, dressed in a bunny suit, was taking pictures with children while their parents looked on in approval. One baby was so new, it actually scared me that the bunny was holding it. It was just too odd, a huge fake rabbit with large solid black eyes, holding a tiny, tiny baby. Memo to parents: bunnies eat (their) babies!

Plus, real rabbits/bunnies don’t like to be touched and often run from humans. I hope that any child of mine will understand the disparity between the truth and what we saw in the mall today.
