When I was a small kid, the local G.C.Murphy's store would sell living baby chicks and baby ducks to give children for Easter. Which seemed charming at the time, but now makes us wonder who the hell thought THAT was a good idea?
Many people thought it was cute to give their children baby bunnies for Easter. When those bunnies began to grow, my brother and I saw an opportunity to coddle them, feed them while they grew to full adulthood. It was a hare-raising experience for 2 young boys.

ReplyDeleteI'm still hoping for a "fluffy chick" on Easter. Then we can do it like bunnies.
ReplyDeleteI received a fluffy chick on Easter once which grew into a rooster just in time to become fried chicken dinner on 4 July for the family.
ReplyDeleteBobo - sounds like you were a plucky lad!
ReplyDelete@All You Scoundrels Above- Funny stuff!
ReplyDeleteMy dad, always the pragmatist, explained these were living creatures and could not be discarded as toys.
ReplyDeleteThen our cat ate them.
