You know the Easter Bunny isn’t really a bunny.
He’s just a guy dressed up in a bunny suit.
Patrick (trying to help us understand):
He’s like a mascot.
Me:
Are you talking about the Easter Bunny in the mall?
Gus:
No. The Easter Bunny who comes to our house.
He’s just a guy in a bunny suit.
Larry:
What are you talking about? The Easter Bunny is a bunny.
Gus:
No he's not. He’s just a guy who wears an Easter Bunny suit.
Me:
Why would someone do that?
Gus:
He’s just a guy who likes to dress up like a bunny and hide candy and eggs and stuff in people's yards.
Me:
So you’re telling me that a guy dressed as a bunny, gets up Easter morning, and goes to every house in America?
Gus:
No, just East Nashville.
Me:
So there’s just an East Nashville Easter Bunny?
Gus:
Yeah. And an Easter Bunny where Granddad and Emmy live ...
Me:
And our Easter Bunny only hides stuff in East Nashville?
Gus:
Yes. But he's not a bunny. He's a guy.
Me:
Who is this guy?
Gus: (Very serious)
We don't know.
