Easter Fun

The day before Easter, I was in Walmart, with about a bagillion other people, and heard the funniest conversation behind me:

woman (sounding extremely put out): I just don't get why Easter is such a big holiday...

Now, before I could even turn around and give her the Abridged-Standing-In-Line-At-The-Wal-Mart-Version of the Gospel, the man with her said...

"well, honey, some people are Christians, and just because your parents were big kick-in-the-pants and didn't celebrate anything, doesn't mean they don't want to celebrate the Resurrection of their Lord."

It doesn't come across here as very funny, but trust me...it.was.hilarious!!!

That wasn't all of the Easter comedy. I teach 4 and 5 year olds on Sunday mornings, and after going through the Stations of the Cross dressed as Mary, with our preschool minister dressed as Pilate, one of the kindergarteners says "hey...that was a good story".
