C is for Chocolate

      Is there really anything in the world that is better than chocolate ?  This time of year visions of chocolate bunnies hop about in my head.  Many will argue that marshmallow Peeps and jelly beans are just as wonderful, but it is the hollow chocolate bunny that is the star of the Easter Basket.

      Not to long ago I saw a picture on Face Book that perfectly represented the chocolate bunny’s plight this time of year.  It showed two chocolate bunnies together talking.  One complained that its butt hurt, and the other couldn’t hear.  Why you ask?  Some over eager soul had bitten off the one bunny’s butt, and someone else had nibbled off the other’s ears.  I personally thought this was hilarious.

      It got me thinking.  At no other time of year could you see people willingly eating a bunny’s a$$.  I mean gross, right?  You tell anyone they are eating the hind end out of an animal and they are most likely to spit it right out.  I would.  You would never have people begging to devour the chicken’s a$$hole or a cow’s crotch.

 
       Make those parts out of chocolate, and what one minute sounded nasty becomes doable in the next minute.  I am just as guilty as the next person.  I admit taking great delight in devouring countless chocolate bunnies over the years.  I always save their candy eyeballs for last!!  Every Easter we have all seen the Cadbury commercials where a lovely little bunny clucks away and then shoots Cadbury eggs out of its butt.  People are literally biting at the bit to gobble those things up.  It doesn’t matter if we seen it just come out of a bunny’s butt, it is chocolate and we are eating it!


       

       The sad thing is, even though I have contemplated all of this…Easter will soon come and I will be inhaling my chocolate bunny regardless.  What can I say?   I love chocolate until next time when I give you another glimpse into the life of a trucker’s wife.
