Comments: Parent Failure
I would be stunned if I ran into any kid under 20 who could use "entropy" correctly, much less tie in a microwave and philosophy.

She just turned 20. Born Easter Sunday. There was a full lunar eclipse, and the Hale Bopp comet was in the sky that Easter. By fourth grade, she had mastered all the spelling tests through 12th grade, and most of the vocab tests, too. She does wicked, funny cartoons that just leave me scratching my head sometimes.

Ah,if only more parents could fail as wonderfully as you,Jewel. You hatched quite the Easter Egg there.

This year my husband 74 and I 68 decided to forego the egg hunt for the grandkids. Instead we put together ( constructed!!) a swing set that had 2 swings, seesaw, rocket glider,chin up, slide and teeter totter. We trusted in the Almighty to see us through. Evidently he took pity on us and after day 4 we finished leaving only 2 washers extra. The Lord gave us 4 days of memories, and an Easter never to forget.

Well, that's better than 2 missing.
The grandkids will abandon it after about 15 minutes because it's boring and by next summer it will be rusty so it won't matter.
When the adults are sitting on the porch the grandkids prefer to run amongst them getting on their nerves and interrupting the conversations.
It's what they do.

Next year the Boy will be literate enough to start emulating Big Sister with Easter Egg Screeds of his own. Best get him into some interesting stories like Treasure Island, Tom Sawyer, and some (pre-peacenik) Dr Seuss. Otherwise, it's entropy, video games, and the Book of Revelations, enough to whiten the hair of the Easter Bunny.
I can't wait to teach my young nephew this egg trick.
