Makes more sense than all the other ones I've heard. :)

Donna, the reason bunnies lay eggs is from the "other" Easter story. It goes like this: Each spring the Goddess (Oester, Ishtar, etc) comes down the rainbow bridge to bring spring. One spring Father Winter was not done freezing the earth when the animals felt spring was due to arrive. The Goddess rescued a tiny bird, and took him south. The world grew so cold that the bird was turned into a bunny to keep him warm. When spring did arrive the bunny was so grateful that he layed brightly colored eggs to honor the Goddess. Well, anyway, that's a truncated version.

Do you think she's going to give up her own progeny? Besides, her own wouldn't sit well in a youngster's basket, not tasty to our palate either. So she's a thief.

Happy Easter to all my friends. Hopefully you will be able to spend time with your family and friends and remember what the true meaning of this 
Holy Holiday is.... of course, for those with different religious
beliefs as me, enjoy a chocolate easter bunny instead :)

ps: and the thought of the moment... why is it the Easter BUNNY leaves 
Easter EGGS?...... bunnies don't lay eggs, that's the chickens job!
