It's Easter time, and I can't think of anything to mark the resurection of Jesus Christ better than a straw bonnet and an egg made of chocolate. Seriously - where's the connection? I get the hot cross buns: the cross represents the crucifix. But an egg made of chocolate? Decorating a straw bonnet to make your child look like a hillbilly? I don't get it. But, it doesn't really matter because I'm Agnostic and couldn't give a crap about anything except Easter eggs right now.
I'm still braving the Slimming World diet at the moment, but I'm allowing myself one Easter egg. Seeing as Mum has already bought me one (at my insistance) it would be rude to refuse it. The older I get the more I feel I should cling on to childhood traditions. I explained to my mother, on no uncertain terms should she ever believe I'm too old for Easter eggs and advent calendars. She foolishly neglected to buy me a Christmas advent calendar one year claiming "But I thought you'd outgrown them now". An outrageous - almost slanderous - suggestion; one which almost cost her a Christmas present. The mistake will not be made again. My youth will stay in tact..... So shut up ok!
Tomorrow we shall set up an Easter egg hunt for my young cousin. I will sit at the sidelines, despising the fact that I can no longer get excited over events like this. Just like at Christmas, my enthusiasm has died for traditions which I used to find exciting. Growing up really does suck. So I shall have to pretend to be excited for her when she finds the hidden eggs, forcefully cheering her on when really I'm quite bitter over the fact that chocolate eggs no longer fill me with joy. I can't even have a hot cross bun because according to Slimming World, bread and butter are "sins". If I ever meet the founder of SW I'll be in danger of committing a completely different sin.
So, Happy Easter everybody! Hope you make yourself sick!
