Be Kind to the Easter Bunny: No Pets

"Baby rabbits, ducklings, and chicks are traditionally associated with Easter, but its not a good idea to give one as a pet."

DON'T DO THIS!

I mean come on.

It's 2018 and we are still talking about this.

Bunnies eat more than just carrots. If you are not prepared to take care of an animals needs, then don't bring that animal into a situation where it will suffer.

Ducklings and chicks grow kinda fast.

Something that evidentially looses its cuteness and kids get bored and parents abandon the animal.

...

Instead of a pet for Easter, try one of these instead:

Palm Pet

This is that annoying chick that chirps when you hold it in your hand. So when you get tired of hearing it, you can make it disappear without remorse.

Pooping Chicken

I had one of these as a kid and I loved it! It poops candy!

Candy

Let's face it. Kids are simple. They know what they want and what they want is sugar.

Sugar in different forms, colors, and packaging.

...

I get it. Some of us just like giving gifts. But sometimes it is best to keep things simple that does not involve gaining and disposing of a living animal.

So this next Easter learn from your past mistakes and just give the kids what they really want.

Stuffed Lamb Cushion for Easter "Lamb is a traditional food for Eater. The lamb is a symbol of Jesus. In John 1:29 Jesus is referred to as "The Lamb of God", who takes away the sin of the world." Lamb is also a traditional Passover meal. In the book of Exodus, God was determined to save His people from their captivity in Egypt. The last plague He sent to Egypt was the death of the firstborn. God commanded that His people take an unblemished lamb, kill it, and but the blood of the lamb on their door post. This would be a sign for the Angel of Death to "passover" the house and not strike their firstborn. It would be after their freedom from slavery that God would institute traditional sacrifice for sins that would involve a lamb. Jesus' last supper was the Passover meal. He and His disciples ate lamb before He instituted the new covenant, teaching His disciples to remember Him in communion. Jesus would go on to be betraye...

Tips on Buying Lamb "A reference to "spring lamb"may make your mouth water - and well it should."

Scotch Woodcock - Two Recipes "From Mrs. Beeton's nineteenth century homemaking guide: Spread hot buttered toast thinly with anchovy paste. Pour over a sauce made by stirring three beaten egg yolks into 1/4 pint cream, bring to a boiling point, but do not allow to boil or the sauce will curdle." This is a traditional Victorian recipe as you can tell because we get a return from Mrs. Beeton in today's Almanac post. Basically this becomes a creamy scrambled egg on toast with anchovy paste. This is the second recipe for today "Add finely chopped hard cooked eggs to a white sauce that has been seasoned with anchovy sauce and paprika. Pour over toast." If you are wondering what eggs has to do with the title of the recipe just know that most Scottish recipes that contain chicken in it will have the word "Cock" in there too. (Don't blush you prudes) I'm not trying to be silly. (Get your head out of the gutter) ...
