I wanted to make sure we were going to have Easter. If the Easter Bunny died, we wouldn’t have candy or Easter eggs and I wouldn’t get a small present for the holiday if he didn’t show up. I was worried, because my friend Brad had a rabbit that died. I knew that rabbits didn’t live very long, so I was really worried about the Easter bunny. However, true to form, the Easter Bunny showed up that year. He brought colored eggs, jelly beans, yellow peeps, and a small present with my name on it. He didn’t let me down, and he even spent the time to hide all the Easter eggs (He did tell my parents where they were in case I couldn’t find them.) As I remember I did pretty well on the hunt. T...

I don’t see how that’s possible, as I’ve been alone the last hour writing this piece (oh dear, am I making it up as I go along?). However, the half-hour before that, I averaged about fifteen per minute. “What are you eating, Mom?” (I’m shoving chocolate-dipped macaroons into my mouth at an ugly pace…) “Carrots! Want some?” Robert Feldman, a social psychologist at the University of Massachusetts found that liars tend to be more popular than honest people (think politics). Because social skills involve telling people what they want to hear (things that aren’t, um, true). The more social grace a person possesses, experiments say, the more willingness a...

Some truth-stretching is essential in order to spare youngsters from life’s harsh realities, or just make parents’ lives a little easier. Stephen Colbert, host of Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report,” coined his own term for it: Truthiness – truth that comes from the gut, not books. So, here are four instances when we give you permission to lie straight to your kids’ faces. Santa/Easter Bunny/Tooth Fairy Dilemma We know this one is controversial. Some hardcore parents spill the beans from day one about Santa Claus and the rest of them being big fat phonies. But those families miss a lot – leaving out cookies for Santa and carrots for his reindeer, hunting for eggs on Easter Sund...

The rational, bah-humbug side wants to skip the tree and stockings. However, I also want to make the holiday season magical for my kids, because I’ve found that their wonder can be contagious. I almost blew it today. I almost told David there was no Santa Claus, or Tooth Fairy, or Easter Bunny. The practical, cynical, depressed side of my brain (the left) challenged the creative, optimistic, slightly manic side (the right) to a duel. For most of the afternoon, the left was winning. Why am I feeding my kids this Disney, make-believe crap that will make their fall to reality all the more crushing? I asked myself. Why encourage them to dream when they&#8217...

From Deb’s House Concerts I saw this several years ago before Easter, and it immediately entered my mental file of jokes that make me laugh.

We have tried, when he was much younger and we found ourselves in a mall in New Jersey, the land of malls and mallrats. Or maybe we had gone to the mall that day for that sole purpose. Something about “mall air” and the deliberately smiling velvet-clad elves/Santa’s helpers, and the line of overly excited, bored, or wandering about children, led Jim to say, quite wisely: “Let’s get out of here.” We never really brought up the matter after that. Charlie was around 4 or 5 then and he wasn’t too inclined to sit on anyone’s lap for too long, and we wo...
