This week Bob visits with ...
The Easter Bunny!
| Bob: | Greetings Mr. Easter Bunny. It's certainly an honor to meet with someone of your celebrity status. Now to begin, should I call you Easter Bunny, Peter Cottontail, or what title exactly do you go by? | |
| Easter Bunny: | You can call me Easter Bunny if you like. The whole Peter Cottontail thing has gotten a little too complicated. The name is actually hyphenated. It's Peter Cotton-Tail. My parents are remarried. | |
| Bob: | Well I hope everything has worked out for the best, and that everyone gets along OK. | |
| Easter Bunny: | Everyone gets along pretty good. Mom says Dad was sometimes hippety when he should have been hoppity, whatever that means. | |
| Bob: | Well there's all sorts of Easter traditions I was hoping you could help me with. Let's start with the candy. Can you tell me where all those marshmallow chicks come from? | |
| Easter Bunny: | Marshmallow hens of course. Finding those is easy. Finding a high performance marshmallow rooster, well that's another story. | |
| Bob: | It seems to me that each year the jelly beans seem to get a little brighter. Do you know why that is? | |
| Easter Bunny: | Most people don't realize that jelly beans are a byproduct of bunnies living near nuclear power plants. Perhaps that has something to do with it. | |
| Bob: | Are there any new candy ideas this year that you'd like to tell us about? | |
| Easter Bunny: | I'm excited about a new product where we put gummy bears at the bottom of hollow chocolate bunnies. We call them "Bunker Bunnies". | |
| Bob: | How do you keep up with the demand for the basket themselves every year? | |
| Easter Bunny: | I'm ashamed to admit we have a little bunny sweat shop where all the baskets are made. Most the time the bunnies really enjoy the work, but occasionally we have to quell some unrest with threats of changing the production line to rabbit's feet. | |
| Bob: | The world certainly has changed over the years. Do you worry at all about your safety during those long hours of basket delivery? | |
| Easter Bunny: | In years past I would worry in places like France where many chefs would like nothing more than to get there hands on a 150 pound rabbit. This year I hear that none of the French will be picking up their rifles, so I'm not worried. | |
| Bob: | Is there any thing else you'd like to tell the Speechboosters audience? | |
| Easter Bunny: | Well there is one more thing. It's about those families in the southern part of the US, like Tennessee and West Virginia. | |
| Bob: | Well, go ahead. | |
| Easter Bunny: | Please when sending your children outdoors for an Easter Egg hunt, it's not necessary to give them loaded rifles. | |
| Bob: | Great Advice. Speechboosters wants to wish everyone a happy and safe week. I guess we all better think twice about those jelly beans next week. | |
