I know that this is primarily for Political discussion, but I thought it would be ok to bring up the 2nd 3rd rail of polite discourse and wish you anonymous Tulsans a Happy Easter!
We are orthodox, so every Easter morning we get up at the break of day and open our Easter buckets, given as a symbol of the Tooth Fairy's benevolence. Then, we sing the ancient words passed on from generations before, the 'Wahoo-Doray' song from the Grinch. With the sugar still pounding on our glands, we go around in the circle and tell our family three things that hurt our feelings, and laugh at each other.
There are a lot of naysayers out there, but I know that there are a lot more believers. So, if'n you are downtown or midtown, east or west, Brookside or Cherry St, Happy Birthday, Tooth Fairy!!
Easter is all about the competitive hunt for the candy and eggs. Me and my sisters and brother and other "big kids" still have a hunt after the "little kids" have theirs. Our "big kids" hunt gets quite competitive and even brutal. More like a combination tackle football/easter egg hunt. Any egg on the ground is fair game, especially if you were knocked over and your basket went flying...[8D]
One year us kids had finished hunting our eggs and were going through them putting money in one pile and candy in the other when we started eating some quite interesting candy eggs. Me and my sisters had never had any candy like it. They were quite good, but different, we analyzed them like you would a fine wine... crunchy on the outside, nice flavor, chewy/bit gooey, gummy on the inside. We kept trying them and analyzing them because they were so unusual though. Mmmm, these are good, different, but good.
All the while, off to one side, my mom kept saying, with a puzzled look on her face, "I dont remember those?" "I dont remember putting anything like that in the eggs?" she asked my dad if he had put some candy in any of the eggs, he hadn't. Just as we had almost finished off those fascinating candies and were hunting for some more my mom adamantly said, "No, all I put in the eggs this year were, these, these and these, there was nothing like those at all".... We all stopped chewing... It suddenly occurred to us that these fascinating candies must have been somehow left over from last year, either left in the basket and rehidden or we found something we had missed the year before..... Then it occurred to us what they actually were, Malted milk ball, eggs. You know, the completely crunchy kind, not gooey and chewey.[xx(][B)][:P]
The Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy do not really exist. Santa Claus told me so.
