Is the Easter Bunny a kidnapper?
April 7th, 2009
I was thinking about this last night. I know I know, why in the world do I drift to these thoughts. Well my mind went there and I let it run.
Where does he/she get the eggs? Are they bought? I don’t think that the bunny can buy them as the prices of eggs have more than doubled in the last few years.
I doubt the chickens give them away, again I cite the price of eggs doubling in the last few years.
So if they aren’t bought, or donated… The only resulting option is that they are stolen. Hot eggs with the serial number scratched off.
My kids will know from day 1 that the Easter Bunny is fake because I don’t want to have to answer this question to a 3-year old. ”Daddy, why does the Easter Bunny steal babies from unsuspecting chickens?” Yes they will use the word unsuspecting, after all they are my kin and will be wicked smart.
good at many things, but no expert…

Lately I have found myself trying to figure out if I am en expert at anything. Not just good or talented at something, but an expert.
With projects around the house, playing various sports, programming, friendships, and the list goes on. I know I am talented and very capable. But I don’t feel like I am an expert at anything.
It makes me wonder how many of us actually are experts at something. Last fall I read a great book called Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. He mentions in the book that it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert at something, sports, music, law, finance. That is almost 5 years of your life working from 9-to-5 at something with no breaks.
I do 2 things that much, work and sleep. But I am not even an expert with those subjects. At work I do so many different things that I cant have the time or focus to become and expert at one of them.
One thing I am probably closest to becoming an expert is that I talk like I am an expert at everything.
“Jack of all trades, master of none”
I dont want to be that guy anymore. I want to become a master at something, an expert in that field.
Here’s the problem… I dont know what it will be…
