Exploiting Easter
I’m headed to the country this weekend to spend Easter with my parents!
My friend Kelli is visiting her parents so I’m excited to see her and the Easter Bunny both. I hope she has the good sense to also give me presents. She’s competitive enough I can totally picture her trying to beat the Easter Bunny.
Speaking of which, I sent the below email to my Mother in an attempt to trick her into doing my grocery shopping. I have a sneaking suspicion she’ll see right through my facade. I also suspect she’ll do it anyway, because she’s just that amazing.
Dear Mom,
I’m coming home for Easter this year. I probably won’t go to church with you on Sunday, but I’d still like to celebrate. So if you’ll kindly place the following items in a pink Easter basket:
A bottle of vitamins
A bottle of melatonin
Mascara
Toilet paper
Diet tonic water
Green grapes
Cheddar cheese
Zit cream
Cauliflower
Yogurt
Baked tofu
Wheat Thins
Peach Fresca
These items won’t seem very Easter-ish to you, so if you want to throw in Easter candy I wouldn’t be opposed. I love you, and can’t wait to see you!!
Love,
Sarah

What? No vodka?
I don’t get it.
Shouldn’t you be sending that to the Easter Bunny instead?
Baked tofu! You rock girl!!!
great idea, i’m emailing my mom right now…
I’m with Cat. I think you may have started a new trend.
You were so nice to not make your Mom go to the liquor store for vodka. Good daughter!!
Thanks for the suggestions. You know your Easter Bunny is aging and can’t think as readily of what should go in your easter basket. The only problem is the easter basket that is still in the basement is little kid size so we may have to scale down the list. How about a few jelly bellys.
diet tonic water and zit cream always equal a happy easter in my book.
Ya know, you are really cute.
I miss getting an easter basket, and we did that up till just a few years ago.
You don’t have to be a kid to get one.
Add tampons to the list, and you could have gotten MY basket last year.
do they sell baked tofu in the country? I don’t know if I’ve ever seen it.
Do melted Trader Joe’s almonds count?
