Best Easter moment

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Misc. life

It was pre-coffee. Mark misspoke and said “Easter Buggy” instead of “Easter Bunny.” We split our sides laughing, imagining the Easter Roach crawling around the house – antenna, creepy stick-like legs and all – hiding egg-shaped balls of poop on the mantel and behind the pillows on the couch.

That is disrespectful to the rabbit who was nailed to a chocolate cross with shamrocks on Christmas Day. For shame.

I can’t stop laughing (and shuddering a bit) at the image. I think the holiday would have had a very short lifespan if they had gone with the Easter Buggy. :D

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
