three cousins, and I are all in high school or college now, but we still put our bunny ears on every year and run around my yard like lunatics searching for Easter-eggs. Two years ago on Instagram, I posted a picture of myself running around with a basket full of eggs. The funny things about the pictures are my gorilla-like posture and the serious face.
