What are the origins of the Easter bunny?

My little cousin just realized the Easter Bunny is not real! Shes flipping help!!?

  • So my little cousin who is 8 (she lives with us now) just came to realization that the Easter Bunny is not real and she flipped out!! See what happened was me and my 2 other sisters ( im 16 my older sis is 19 and my 13 yr old sis) were talking about when we was younger and memories from Easter... Well My lil cuz came in the room and we didnt realize she was in there... Well my 13 yr ole sis was like yeah i remember when you told the Easter Bunny wasnt real... She was tlkin about when me n her was snoopin in my moms room and found our easter baskets full of candy and i told her it wasnt real ( i was 12 at the time and she was 9..) So my cuz came out and was like Wat the EASTER BUNNY IS NOT REAL!!! then she started goin hysterical crying screaming saying she has been lied to her whole life blah blah well me and my sisters were like um... calm down Meagen and i was like listen Meagen the easter bunny isnt real but its not a big deal just chill well she just cried and screamed WHY IS THE EASTER BUNNY NOT REAL WHY DID EVERYONE LIE TO ME MY WHOLE LIFE IVE BEEN LIED TO!! HOW COULD YALL DO THT TO ME?? then she ran 2 her room and locked the door... She refuses to talk to us and I called my mom and she flipped on us.. she said we were NOT suppose to tell her... So my mom is like well i cant get home till 2nite cuz shes at my younger sisters girls scouts trip so shes like YALL HAVE 2 DEAL WITH IT... SO WAT ARE WE SUPPOSE TO DO????? How do you get a 7 year old to calm down after her older cousins completely ruined her beliefs in everything?? WAT ARE WE SUPPOSE TO DO?? HELP PLEASE!!! MY MOM IS SAYING I NEED 2 TALK 2 HER SINCE I JUST CAME RIGHT OUT AND TOLD HER POINT BLANK HES NOT REAL!! My cuz is 7 and she is living with us cuz her dad lives in New York and has a really busy job and cant watch her so she moved in with us about 5 months ago see her mother died in a car wreck 7 months ago and her parents were divorced so my mom was like well we can raise her... so she moved all the way to NC just to live with us.... She is still very childish... Like she still believes in Santa, the Easter Bunny, Tooth fairy etc... Her therapist tht she sees at school says she is behind like instead of thinking and stuff like a 7 year old she is more like a 4 or 5 year old... They said it was caused from the traumatic experience she went through, with the death of her mother and everything, SO thts why my flipped so much cuz she doesnt really understand i guess...

  • Answer:

    She's seven...why did she still believe in the easter bunny? And why would the Mom get pissed off that you spilled the beans? Had to happen sometime... If you're Christian, you could probably tell her what Easter is really about...that helped me out.

What? Not real? What do u mean not real????? Next thing I know someone will tell me Santa is not real either!!!! Now, think about it: One of those days she'd find out the truth. She has to before she is a 30 yo with a husband and kids crying her eyes out for being lied to LOL She wouldn't want this to happen would she? Just tell her that the Easter Bunny is like Santa. He is only real if we believe in him. Is the spirit of giving (and the one of getting for little ones). She has to know that sometimes we grow out of that misconception and thats a good thing because we enter the world of reality and we stay there And that's a good thing
