Easter Egg Hunt
Dear Frankie,
My parents host an annual Easter Egg Hunt and invite my friends from the dog park. Spike said this year’s hunt was the best yet because my parents hid the eggs in unusual places, and it took forever for everyone to fill their baskets. I told Spike it was the Easter Bunny, not my parents, who hid the eggs.
He said, “You’ve got to be kidding; you still don’t believe there’s an Easter Bunny at your age.”
I asked him, “Are you calling my parents liars?”
He said no, “I’m telling you the Easter Bunny isn’t real, and you are a jerk for believing your parents who say he is.”
Why would Spike say such mean things about me and my parents?
Artie
Dear Artie,
Maybe Spike didn’t like being corrected when you told him he was wrong about who hid the eggs. So, he retaliated by calling you a name and belittling you for believing what your parents told you about an Easter Bunny.
Spike was a guest of yours and a rude one at that. He could have said he didn’t realize the Easter Bunny distributed the eggs or said nothing. He was out of line when he accused you of being naïve for believing what your parents told you.
You might think twice about including him on the guest list for next year’s hunt.
Best, Frankie
