Easter

"Tomorrow is Easter, Rachel."

"Yes, I get a basket?"

"Yes, you do, but let's talk about why we celebrate Easter and it has nothing to do with baskets."

"Jesus?"

"Yes, Jesus. Tomorrow is the day set aside to celebrate his resurection and when God fulfilled all of his promises."

"And EGGS!"

"...."

"Um, no. Eggs on Easter came about for other reasons. Jesus didn't have a bunch of colored eggs with him when he walked out of his tomb."

"....."

"How about we go over this tomorrow, honey, it will make a bit more sense."

"No, Jesus did not die. You said he lives and Easter is about EGGS!"

"Okay, I'll go with that. Ready for bed?"

"Yes, just don't forget the eggs tomorrow."
