Gary: So, what did we buy at the mall tonight?
Me: Well, all that Lush stuff (TWO TRIPS TO LUSH IN ONE NIGHT) and the bunnies.
Gary: Bunnies?
Me: Uh, the chocolate Easter bunnies?
Gary: Oh! Yeah! The Lent bunnies.
Me: Easter bunnies.
Gary: Yeah. That’s what I said.
Me: You said Lent bunnies.
Gary: Yeah. For Easter.
Me: I thought Easter was the end of Lent. That’s why you indulge in chocolate.
Gary: Yes. What is wrong with you?
Me: Well, now you’re calling them Lent bunnies.
Gary: Yes. The bunnies we just bought? For Easter? The Lent ones?
Me: Is this a Catholic thing? You’re only allowed to call them Easter bunnies after Easter? But till then they’re Lent bunnies?
(Now, I think this makes total sense, especially since it’s the Catholics that who take Jesus off the cross in the sanctuary after Easter, but then pop him back up there just in time for your wedding in June, and he does not look like he’s having fun in the wedding photos. Plus, Catholics let the baby Jesus join the others in the manger at Christmas, just as the in-laws dress up the decorative geese in seasonal costumes.)
But, actually, I imagine this conversation takes place often after people leave West Country mall. Where the Lindt chocolate store is.

Before I even got to the end, I was saying…..Lindt….not Lent….Lindt. Yumm.
Are you sure they’re not Passover Bunnies?
Ha. I didn’t get it until I read the first comment. I’m so stupid.Also, I found out that we have Lush store in NOLA. Apparently I lack quite a lot of perceptive abilities.
Lisa Emrich – Bah! You are smarter than I. Except I believe I’ve seen your MRI, and you have a lame little total of three lesions. Ha! I have a solid dozen, so there. Don’t lord your brain over me!#0.5 – Wait a minute. I thought it was Purim this week.Katie – THANK you. I feel better. Darn Lisa and her mildly dappled brain.
Oooh, you have a Lush store and a Lindt store in the same mall? *jealous*
We just got a LUSH store in our mall. (right down the way from the Lindt store, actually)… I haven’t ventured in yet. Is it cool? I’m guessing so.
Jammies – Oh, and a Soma! http://www.soma.com!Kate – You know, I didn’t think it was that great, but then the evil crack pushers who run the store stuck some soap under my nose and I was hooked.
