somehow jasper and i started talking about easter, and like the santa experience, i was a bit nervous about the questions he would start asking.  in my mind, he was going to ask if the easter bunny was real and then we were going to move onto the tooth fairy.  yikes.  thankfully, his questions were quite innocent and well, quite innovative!

jasper:  mommy, does the easter bunny hide eggs?
mommy:  yes.
jasper:  how?
mommy:  what do you mean how?  he hides them in different places.
jasper:  but how?
mommy: 
jasper:  but how does he hide them?  he doesn't have the same kind of hands like us.
silence from mommy

but then i could not stop laughing!  we were driving in the car and i turned around to look at him, and he was looking down at his hands.  he wasn't asking how the easter bunny magically hid easter eggs around the yard/house/park, he was literally asking how the easter bunny could pick up a little egg up in it's paws, which don't have fingers like us to grasp the egg, to hide them!

he's too funny.

"mommy, daddy!  santa ate half of my cookie and drank the juice!
and he left us presents!  come!  come see!"

a conversation in the car with daddy over the weekend

jasper:  daddy, how come santa doesn't come visit our house and bring us presents?
p:  what do you mean?  there are presents under the tree.
jasper:  but mommy wrapped those for my friends.  and the other ones are from my aunties and uncles.
p:  ... uh...



(mommy is rushing to target right now for a gift and new wrapping paper)
