With Easter just barely in our rearview mirror, it seems appropriate to discuss the Easter bunny; or, more specifically, the variations on what we imagine the Easter bunny to look like. I was surprised to learn that some people see him as a little cotton tail rabbit - not unlike Peter, I suppose.
To me, this makes no sense. How could such a little guy transport all his delicious treats to deserving (and not-so-deserving) boys and girls? On his back? Doubtful. Let’s get real here, I argued. Obviously he has to be life-sized, with opposable thumbs to carry his Easter basket, and two legs. In the course of conversation, I also mentioned that my Easter bunny wears a top hat and a bejeweled, glitter-covered vest. I paused to consider this. Perhaps, I thought, my bunny is gay; at the very least, he’s a flamboyant individual. Bunny George? Libunnyrace? I’m not one to judge. All I know is, not only does he bring me some heavenly treats, but he’s also the most fabulously dressed guy on the block.
What does your Easter bunny look like?
