I Wanna Easter Egg! I Wanna Easter Egg!
-
By now, you've seen the story about the Pez Easter Egg Hunt disaster, at which parents stormed the fields and grabbed the eggs, trampling the little kids in the process. It was not the only such incident this year. In Texas, too many people showed up for an Easter Egg helicopter drop, overwhelming the organizers and forcing a cancellation. In Vermont, a hunt that parents thought was poorly organized got overrun and led to at least one arrest. And in Vancouver, Washington, where pot is legal but selling it out of your home is not, a man ran into an Easter egg hunt screaming that his roommates were about to shoot him, which got the cops interested, which led to the man and his roommates being arrested for a pot growing operation. Add that to the story from last week -- un-Easter egg-related -- about the parents who brawled over seating at a Kindergarten play -- people in the front row were upset that other parents walked in front of them to take pictures -- and we might come to the conclusion that humans make lousy parents. Really, was EVERYONE raised by wolves? (WVIT-TV/Hartford; Dallas Morning News; WCAX-TV/Burlington; The Oregonian; Riverside Press Enterprise)
