I did it once. Many years ago while at the mall, little Isabelle insisted on photos with the Easter Bunny. I have to admit, the whole concept scares me. Santa? Yes. Anyone else dressed up wanting kids on their knees? No.
Yet she really wanted to see ‘it’ up close, so as much as it creeped me out, I agreed. Turns out she got closer and didn’t like it. A total, ‘get me the heck outta here!’ look. Since then I have steered the kids away from the giant bunny at the mall.
Proof that it can be a complete nightmare experience?
Let me show you a trio I like to call, ‘Bad, ‘Creepy’ and ‘Scary’.

04/05/2012 at 6:21 amYikes! Who on earth thought those costumes were a good idea?! They remind me of *Donnie Darko*!
Curt says
04/05/2012 at 6:34 amPeople in large masks and costumes are always scary to little kids. I’ve always wondered why anyone ever thought that was a good, or smart idea.
I remember the first time my daughter at about 3 years old was scared out of her wits by Chuck E. Cheese running at her at the pizza parlor. In fact, he was relentless even after seeing she was scared. I thought about decking him, but figured that was probably a bad idea.

04/05/2012 at 7:47 amOh man….Those are some SCARY looking pink and yellow bunnies, let me tell you o.O
Honestly, can parents NOT see why forcing your kids to take pictures with strange people dressed in costumes would scare them?!

04/05/2012 at 9:09 amHa Ha My husband says the Easter Bunny freaks him out! If I showed him these pictures that would REALLY freak him out!
brenda says
04/05/2012 at 10:41 pmNow I know why she said the Easter bunny we saw today was pretty scary looking. However ! as we were leaving the mall; she wanted to go back and see him.!??/
Jennifer says

Becky Boo says

Amanda says

04/09/2012 at 2:11 pmThis is exactly why I don’t force my kids to see the Easter Bunny or Santa. My kids have no desire to sit on a strangers lap…..no matter how many toys or candy he promises 😉
Jenn says
04/09/2012 at 3:03 pmLOL My kids won’t take pictures with ANY costumed character! My nearly 8 year old STILL gets clammy when the Chick-Fil-A cow walks around!
Carey J says
04/09/2012 at 6:23 pmLOL! I love “Creepy”!
Lindsay says
04/11/2012 at 2:58 pmHa ha! So funny! The first photo really makes me feel better about my kids’ photo with the bunny this year! 🙂
Genieve says
04/26/2012 at 6:33 pmThat is hilarious!… And totally scary. lol
Crissy says
03/25/2013 at 12:04 pmI just would not even think to get a bunny pic, lol. I can barely get my kids on Santa’s lap!
Jodi @ A Mom Having Fun says
03/28/2013 at 9:25 pmThose last two bunnies were really creepy! I have a picture of my oldest when she was about 2 with the Easter Bunny crying her little eyes out. 🙂
