Still Playing Politics with the Easter Bunny

The Gremlin was at the doctor's office the other day when he saw another mother and child coming into the office. The mother and her newborn were bundled up for the chilly Seattle morning, and the Gremlin noticed something interesting.

"Momma, I think that baby is silly."

"Why do you think that?"

"Because I think it's a silly hat." The Mother of the Gremlin looked over and saw the baby was wearing a bunny hat - white with floppy ears, pastel blue eyes and a pink nose. "I think it's silly to look like the Easter Bunny!"

"Well, it is an Easter hat, buddy," the MOTG informed him. The Gremlin stopped dead in his tracks. He slowly looked up at the mother of the newborn, who was sitting back enjoying this conversation.

"He must have gotten a lot of stuff for Easter!"

"Well, he did get three Easter baskets." The Gremlin, fully charged at this news, turned to the MOTG.

"MOMMA, WHERE DO I GET A HAT LIKE THAT?!"

"Buddy, it's a baby's hat." The Gremlin sighed, relieved.

"That's okay - we're getting a baby."

Playing Politics with the Easter Bunny

So the Gremlin decided to go out on Saturday, and visit a few of the neighborhood easter bunnies.

We arrived at the local community center and he immediately insisted on having his picture taken with the easter bunny. he stood as far away as physically possible, and was not at all pleased about the picture.

He wasn't pleased about the hand on his back either

However once that was completed, he proceeded to continue and enjoy himself - searching for eggs, getting his face painted, and having a 'grand old time.'

Grand Old Time

On the way home, he saw another egg hunt and wanted to stop. There again, he proceeded directly to the easter bunny and demanded another picture - keeping as far away as possible while being able to ensure a photo would occur.

Again, notice the facial expression.

And immediately after, he jumped up and ran off to have fun.

Fun

On the way home, we asked him about the pictures he stated he, "wanted to make sure the easter bunny thinks we're good buddies so he'll bring me lots of stuff tomorrow." He's going to play office politics like a pro - and reap the rewards:
