Easter bunny funny

My nearly 90-year-old mum spent about three months making this very dodgy looking rabbit for a bit of Easter Fun for her mate.

The initial shape she made out of chicken wire, then about six layers of newspaper on top.

She took so long because basically it was bloody hard work and, being as stubborn as she is, she was determined to finish it.

Tonight was delivery time.

I had to go with her because, basically, she didn’t want people to think she was crazy.

I pointed out: “Mum, you are carrying a four-foot high papier-mâché rabbit on your mobility scooter. I’m pretty sure the ‘crazy’ tag is a given.”

We had to go up the main drag to her mate’s house and quite frankly I was surprised all the horn bipping of passing cars didn’t alert him. But then, I suppose being a heartbeat away from 90 himself, he wouldn’t hear anything anyway.

It was just getting dark and he was sitting at his kitchen window.

Mum said, “I will sneak in and put it at his front door”.

So she rode into his yard and placed it by his door. She then backed up, with the reversing beepers going off.

His front door was open – I could still see him at the window and I was starting to wonder if he was dead.

We were back home within five minutes. She then rang him and, with a funny voice, said “There is something in your front yard” and slammed the phone down.

I said, “Mum, you’re crazy, that poor old bugger will go out to the front yard and see a four-foot rabbit looking at him. He could have a coronary!”

And I really was worried about him, until his son rang me to tell me about the giant rabbit his dad was watching television with.
