Saturday 9: This Is the Way the Bunny Hops

Sam’s Saturday 9: This Is the Way the Bunny Hops (From the archives)

On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun…

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) Why do you suppose there are so many songs about Santa Claus, yet very few about the Easter Bunny?

Because Santa Clause has a better publicity agent than the Easter Bunny. but there is always this song…

2) This song was written by The Kiboomers, two early education teachers who are passionate about the power of music to help kids learn. Tell us about a teacher who had an impact on your life.

The high school science teacher, he ran the science club which I was a member.

3) Legend has it that the Easter Bunny was introduced to America in the 1700s by German immigrants. These children waited for a magic creature who left colored eggs. Today's kids dye Easter eggs themselves. When did you most recently color eggs?

Um… it must have been 60 years ago.

4) The Easter Bunny is usually shown carrying a wicker basket filled with eggs, toys and candy. Is there any wicker in the room you're in right now?

Yes, I have them on top of the refrigerator.

5) While marshmallow Peeps are manufactured all year around, they are most popular at Easter. Do you prefer the chicks or the bunnies?

Well, I am diabetic so no bunnies or Peeps for me.

6) A little time in the microwave can do ugly things to a Peep. Have you ever nuked a Peep?

Nope, but I have been known to experiment with marshmallows in the microwave. One of the worst things you can tell an engineering student “Do not do this” we wonder why not?

7) Would you prefer a hollow or a solid chocolate bunny?

See my answer for #5… but I have been know to cheat when it comes to chocolate.

8) A traditional American Easter dinner usually includes glazed ham or roast lamb. Which would you rather have as your main course?

Well I like them both.

I like the pineapple and Maraschino cherries on the glazed ham but I also like the mint jelly with the lamb.

9) Easter is considered the season of rebirth. What makes you feel refreshed or rejuvenated?

A good night sleep which is very rare with me. I slept for 3 hours, awake for 3 hours and another 3 hour sleep.
