Are You Afraid Of The Easter Bunny?

As it turns out all religious holidays have their own special mascot and strangely enough none of them has a thing to do with the religious holiday. That aside, it is common to see around the time of the holidays those mascots in the malls prepared to receive kids from mother who want at any cost delay the inevitable day their kids will discover that unicorns don’t exist and neither does the tooth fairy. While most kids seem excited to imprint the beautiful memories of  the make-believe childhood, other kids just don’t seem to buy the story of a human sized talking bunny.

How Children See The World

When I was just a child I used to think that there were people inside TV and radio. Once I opened a radio to see if I could find those little people but there was no one there; they must have run away, I thought. Strangely, I didn’t believe in Santa Claus, unicorns and the equality promoted by politicians wearing suites costing more than my mother’s paycheck. 

I also thought the blanket was some kind of shield that would protect people while they slept, that all cats are female and all dogs are male, etc. Today I know that Santa Claus is possibly a character created by Coca-Cola and that you can really make a unicorn by wrapping a stick with tape in the head of a horse or a donkey.

 Much didn’t make sense but it was what was going on in my head. And it seems I was not the only one.
