The Professor

Growing up there was always a chocolate Easter bunny left in my basket. The next day, this Easter bunny was always "put away for later" by my parents, never to return again. I think they usually put it in the freezer to "save it" and tossed it out once I'd forgotten about it. Nice trick Mom and Dad. My parents were pretty strict about candy in general. I was that kid whose Halloween candy lasted for 6 months because I could only eat 1 piece per day. I'm sure it was good parenting, and yes it taught me healthy habits, but it seems a bit shady. My mom was probably sneaking candy out of my stash year round!

This year my mom made an Easter basket for Eva and purposely put a GIANT chocolate bunny that came with him own name, The Professor. I guess now that I'm about to have my own baby she thinks it is funny to give me what I never had as a child. I hope she knows that this doesn't make up for all the disappearing bunnies of the Easter of yesteryear! (Although the cute baby outfits that were also in the basket have helped me consider a chocolate bunny truce with her.)

Last night Ryan and I decided to indulge in a little bit of The Professor, but thought we would take some memorable photos first. While he still had those delicious ears. Have you ever seen a chocolate bunny wear a bow tie better? He was even reading a book! How fancy.
And lest you think that The Professor was all fun and no games, I also wanted to include a picture of the woodland friends feature on the back of his box. I'm sorry for the loss of their dear forest leader.
