Over the years my mother has sent me various animatronic Easter gifts. It started small with the “Happy Easter!” chick.

Then a Cadbury Bunny got involved.

But the Vick and the bunny were not enough. My mother also sent a Spring Quartet that sings “At the Hop.”

Soon another rabbit got involved, this one singing “Here Comes Peter Cottontail.”

The most terror-inducing is this rabbit wearing bunny slippers who gets way too excited about tapping his foot. He’s on some sort of drugs ... but he’ll make you think you’re the one having the drug-induced flashbacks.

Once a year they gather for a truly horrific concert.

The Plush Paczki just looks on, wondering what kind of nightmare happened in those forty days between Fat Tuesday and Easter Sunday.
