This morning we were discussing the meaning of Easter while we were eating breakfast. One of our daughters had asked, "Why an Easter Bunny?" I explained that bunnies are known for having many babies and having them often and so they symbolize new life. Chickens are always laying eggs and so they are a symbol of new life and thus chickens are also an Easter icon. I reminded the children that Easter is a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus and that resurrection is new life. To verify that the message was clear I thought to employ the Socratic method and inquired, "Easter means new....._______?" Ada eager to show her understanding emphatically finished: "CLOTHES!"

That's my girl! You're not going to pull anything over on her with all that symbolism and imagery. She's got the big picture.
Leave it to Ada, the future fashion designer, to fill in the blank like that. What a cutie!
