A week later, we are still pounding left-over jelly beans, peeps, and pickled eggs. We threw out most of the candy and eggs, but those annoying gifts from the grandparents to your kids keep on lingering. What enzyme is released in old age that makes one want to spend your social security check on overpriced "Made in China" toys that sing silly songs and wiggle about? What could it be? Perhaps our parents are getting back at us for the mischief we caused as kids. Maybe their parents did it to them and they are simply carrying on tradition. Regardless of rationality...it's annoying. See my video if you need a visual aid...a secular toy on such a religious holiday:
Beware! FROG OF DEATH!
Beware! FROG OF DEATH!
See, they've just planted the seeds for you to carry on the same tradition. ;)
