Happy Easter!

Topic: Easter Eggs are Filled with Chocolate

In this week's dialogue, James, Alexia and Sundance will discuss where chocolate and Easter eggs come from. Sundance will ask a series of relevant questions and James and Alexia will provide answers.

Sundance: Why aren't the eggs you eat in the morning filled with chocolate?

James: That's a very good question, Sundance. Sometimes eggs aren't sweet. Those kind happen to be the ones I like to eat. I choose to eat these kinds so I can flavor them myself with spices and have them for breakfast. When I make chocolate eggs for breakfast, Momma isn't so thrilled.

Sundance: Why are some of those savory eggs white, some brown and some green?

James: Another great question. You know Sundance that if a mama dog is brown it's very likely that her puppies will be brown. So, if an Easter chicken is purple or green or yellow or red, then it is likely she will lay purple or green or yellow or red eggs that match her own color. But if she is sweet with some soul and is married to a brown easter bunny, than she will lay eggs that will have chocolate inside them.

Sundance: The eggs that I lay on the lawn, they are brown and you pick them up and put them in a bag. Are those chocolate eggs too, and are you saving them to eat later?

James: No, those are not chocolate eggs. We put them in a bag and throw them in the trash because they do not taste good to us.

Sundance: Now, the Easter bunny, is he a real bunny, or is he made out of chocolate? Either way I'd like to taste him. I just want to know if I should have him for dinner or dessert.

James: That depends on your religious persuasion. Strict Christians believe the Easter bunny is merely a misguided representation of a simple rabbit. But traditional Americans tend to see the Easter Bunny as more of a spiritual guide who helps them make important decisions in springtime, hence his frequent representation in chocolate, another religious substance. So no, there is no one bunny for Easter like there's one groundhog for Groundhog Day.

Sundance: Gee, Daddy, this has been a very fruitful discussion. You have such enriching answers to my myriad questions. I love you Daddy.
