Bean has previously stated that the Easter Bunny isn't real it's just a man in a suit.

But now my dilemma is that she has made a card for the Easter BUnny with a tick box in it, which says

"are you real" with a yes or no tick box.

I have always maintained that I would tell her if she asked me the truth but she isn't directly asking me, so now I am stuck do I tick the box no... or yes?

I'd tick yes!! They loose their wild imagination and pure innocence too soon as it is. Let her enjoy it, the Easter Bunny always brought me a lot of joy and excitement. She wont hate you for 'lying' to her when she's older. wink.gif

LOL sorry, but she sounds like a clever little one!

I would tell her the truth, or turn it back around and tell her its all what she believes, just like the magic of Christmas.

Don't know about hate, but my DH felt very betrayed when he discovered he had been lied to about the existence of Santa and the Easter bunny.
