- "Your story is one of an extremely clever 2nd grader. It would
- have been nice if I had thought of that in second grade. Actually,
- I do have a recess-related story from when I was in first grade.
-
- "When I was in first grade, I once had to stay in for recess for
- coloring the Easter Bunny pink. My parents taught me to color things
- whatever color I thought they should be, but my teacher insisted the
- Easter Bunny was white and not pink. To this day, I insist that my
- teacher was incorrect and that the Easter Bunny is, in fact, pink.
- But, now that I think about it, it is probably just as well that I missed
- that round of RED-ROVER anyway. :-)
-
- "Anyone seen an Easter Bunny here in VR? What color is it?
