*Where does the Easter Bunny actually rest in the “Stuff we wants kids to believe until they get older” myth collection? Yes, I know, it’s sad when kids finally have it broken to them that there is no Tooth Fairy and that the money they found under their bed came actually came from a small group of Silicon Valley inventors who figured out the chemical combination of turning teeth and pillow cases into quarters. But what about the Easter Bunny? Does it rank up there with the great myths — with the tooth fairy and Santa Claus and George Washington’s cherry tree and Mikey having his stomach explode with pop rocks? Or is it really kind of a second-rate myth?
Personally, I guess I would rank the myths like this:
No. 1: Santa Claus
No. 2: Tooth Fairy
No. 3: Your parents know better
No. 4: If you make that face, it will freeze that way.
No. 5: I will stop this car on the highway.
No. 6: No, that mascot is real.
No. 7: Easter BunnyBut maybe I’m underestimating the Easter Bunny.
From Joe Posnanski in a blog post, History Lessons With Bud [Selig]. Poz takes the Commissioner to task for stating, in a letter, that he “really believe[s] that Abner Doubleday is the ‘father of baseball’.”
He’s not.
How about, “you will go blind.”
Oh, man, I didn’t see that one coming.
my mom told me that if I kept swallowing my gum, I would have gallstones. Didnt take too many years to open me up to remove all that old bubblegum.
