Belated Easter Thoughts
I realise it's been a while since I was a kid (shush!), but when did Easter turn into a gift and card giving holiday?
And what the hell is with the jelly beans?
Matilda got given a really age inappropriate Easter gift basket... somehow I don't think something containing felt tip colouring pens and a journal is really something for a 13 month old. Apparently it was bought for her because it had a doll in it. The doll has a fabric covered styrofoam head, the eyes and nose are plastic and glued on, and will pop off in no time at all, and the wool hair is easily ripped from its skull, which Sparky (their dog) already helped with when he got a hold of it. The doll has "flimsy choking hazard" written all over it, unfortunately.
And then there was the candy she doesn't/can't/shouldn't eat.
