Camo Eggs

This one is just for fun. 

It's amazing how far we've come from spending a full day boiling, dipping and decorating Easter eggs.  Last week I was doing my usual preEaster accessory and candy shopping.  I came across all kinds of prewrapped goodies, all kinds of toys and stuffed animals, and every size shape and flavor of “chocolate” bunny.  Then there are the little plastic eggs to put your goodies in, so you can hide them.  There are even different shapes now.  You can get buy sport ball shaped “eggs” and bunny shaped “eggs”   and even chick shaped “eggs.”  They come in pastel colors, bright, metallic, patterns and now camouflage!

That's right, some genius decided that hiding brightly colored eggs from small children wasn't fun enough, so now “we're takin’ it up a notch.”  Now, after these little youngsters wait for the only good candy reaping holiday besides Halloween, and sometimes after being dressed in clothes they are not allowed to get dirty – like that's ever happened, sitting through a long crowded church service and sometimes even after sitting through the giant clan gathering and engorgement, then they get the joy of finding camouflage eggs!  What deranged individual could do this to a child?

Here's the image I get.  Little Johnny in his white romper with the matching white shoes and Little Mary in her pink lacy dress and bonnet out in the yard filled with excitement.  Oh yeah!  A little plot of heaven filled with all kinds of sugary delights waiting for them.  All dressed in pretty little colorful eggs tucked away in the warm grass, by the garden or in the hedge.  NOT THIS YEAR!!!  (Scary music) Uncle Jimmy lurks behind the old oak tree with his paint ball gun.  Who's going to be first….not little Johnny…Nooooo!

You get the picture?  To me the only kid old enough to enjoy searching for camouflage Easter eggs is old enough to field dress the Easter Bunny.  What next, trip wire instead of tinsel on the Christmas tree?  I guess I'm just old fashioned ….or maybe just old. 

Hope you have a Happy Easter!
