Fuzzy White Lies

It's been awhile, blog. Almost two whole days. I don't remember what's been happening, but I had such a great time with the youth group Sunday school yesterday, I thought I'd share with you.

We played Easter bunny balderdash yesterday and I had the kids write explanations of where the Easter egg came from, here's the cream of the crop:
There was a man on death row called Max Hurley. He was sentenced to death by gassing but as he was being gassed, a bunny was walking by the gassing machine and was sucked in. The bunny evaporated into gas and fused into Max Huxley to form Bunny Man. The bunny went from house to house on a bloodthirsty rampage until one day, God said to him, "Use your powers for good." Bunny Man saw his errors so he decided that he would help little children by hiding eggs... from that day forward, he was known as The Easter Bunny.

A slightly happier version:
... When Jesus was just a little boy, he loved eggs. He loved eating eggs, looking at eggs, and even talking to eggs. Sometimes he would actually preach to the eggs so they would go to heaven with him....

And, my personal favorite:
The Easter egg is actually a dragon, but implanted in a platypus, a surrogate mother to avoid suspicion. Each year, children eat these eggs. That's why dragons don't exist.
