You see, Mama spotted the glorious, prize-winning golden egg laying unseen underneath a bush. Frantic to have Julie find it before the other little rugrats hunted into the area, Mama took Julie by the shoulder and pushed, er-urged her in the direction of the egg.
Doubled over with laughter at my thoughts of Julie with a mouthful of dirt and yelling up to Mama "Why did you push me?!", the story always ends there for me. I don't know if Julie did see the egg and claim victory, or if the fall brought her tears, causing a commotion and allowing time for another kid to run in there and grab the egg. If she did get the egg, what was the prize? And, Mama, was the prize worth compromising the safety of your eldest child?
Since the incident lives on as one of our favorite Easter memories, I'd say "you betcha" the push was worth it!
The moon was glowing so big and bright, followed by a brilliantly colorful sunrise. I was awake in time to enjoy it for about 10 minutes before the moon dropped behind the buildings and the sky faded to blue:

The sky was lighter than it's showing in this picture.

Thanks for the Easter box filled with goodies, Mama and Daddy!

In an email from Mama:
"Oh, yes, Julie found the golden egg. There were no tears from the fall because when she landed face-down on the ground the egg was right in front of her! It was filled with candy and the egg (a plastic Leggs hose container spray-painted gold) is still with Julie’s things in the attic!"
