<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri>and then i was sad, and he gave me this bunny, he said here ya’ go, kid, better you have it than me.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>he said that sometimes it talks, and that if it talks i should give it a penny and a drink of water and then get real far away as fast as i can, ‘cause there’s gonna be trouble.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>and i said I don’t wanna be in any trouble, and he said not for you, for whoever’s makin’ it talk, and i said i don’t understand, and he said you will, and keep a couple a’ pennies and a bottle of water with me all the time.</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri>and then he said jesus h. christ, ain’t you got nothin’ to drink around here, and i told him that my sunday school teacher told me if you take the lord’s name in vain you go to hell, and he told me to shut up and he said lots of other bad words.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>and i told him he shouldn’t, and he said that it was okay, he was the mothereffin’ easter bunny, which i didn’t understand ‘cause how can he be a mother if he’s a boy? and he laughed and said nevermind, but seriously, nothin’ to drink?</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri>so i made him purple kool-aid and he said it was pretty good.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>then he said bye, kid, tell yer mom I said hi, and when my mom came home i told her, but she seemed real sad when i said it was the easter bunny, ‘cause she cried lots and lots.</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri>and when my daddy came home and i told him about the easter bunny coming he got real mad and he yelled at my mom, he said when<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>i married you you promised your dad wouldn’t come around anymore, and my mom said he’s still my dad, and then they shouted lots and i played with my new blue bunny rabbit. </FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri>then my mommy came and she said where’d you get that bunny and i said from the easter bunny and my daddy came in too and he said get rid of it, and she said don’t you dare, that’s the first thing my dad’s given anybody, so it must be important, and i hugged the bunny real tight so my daddy couldn’t take him.</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri>my daddy said celeste that doesn’t mean anything, your father’s got fewer morals than a tijuana brothel full of drug runners, and then my mommy got real mad and quiet and said don’t you talk like that and daddy said i’m sorry but you know i’m right and then they went out of my room but they were still mad and shouting.</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri>so i couldn’t sleep, but then it got real late and they stopped yelling and i could hear daddy snoring but I still couldn’t sleep so I played with my bunny, and I pretended it went to the zoo and then to the moon and then to the ocean and then it moved on its own and said THERE’S A MAN AT THE WINDOW.</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri>i looked and there was!<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>it was mr. jimmy the ice-cream man!<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>he sells ice cream all summer in a big white van, but I didn’t see his van.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>mr. jimmy saw me looking at him and he smiled, and he opened my window with a little cutting thing, and he said would you like some ice cream, and i said yeah I would, but then i remembered what the easter bunny said, so i said wait just a second please and mr. jimmy looked all mad and his face got red and he said you better hurry up or i’ll hurry you up.</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri>and, and that sounded real bad, so i got the cup of water that my mommy puts by my bed and the penny i had left from buying candy the other day and I gave it to my blue bunny.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>and he said THANKS and he said GET UNDER THE COVERS AND DON’T LOOK and he had a real deep voice and so i did and when I looked up, mr. jimmy was gone and my blue bunny was red.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>or maybe i just thought he was red ‘cause he was blue again in another second and anyways then I went to sleep.</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri>THE END!!!!!!</FONT></P>
