Can We Just Go One Week Without Something Like A Fight At An Easter Egg Hunt?

I know that I am far from being a perfect person. I admit this. I do what I can and at least want to be a better person. I know that most other people are this way, and that they too are just as ruled by their failings as me. This is part of being human…but can we at least go one week without hearing about something like a fight at an Easter egg hunt?

I’m not making this up; I just ran across this article. Apparently, a woman pushed a child aside when her kid was trying to go for some eggs. Of course, the pushed child’s mother was a bit peeved about this and a fight erupted…AT AN EASTER EGG HUNT!!!

Seriously?! Why not? Whether you’re in for the Jesus resurrection school of Easter or the nature-based or such fertility festival school, both of course include the traditional fighting during an event for children. It only makes sense, and just does a little more to make me worry about my faith in humanity.

After all, these were eggs. We aren’t talking about thousand dollar bills here or anything. These kids were there to have fun. I’m sure both mothers were trying to make sure their kids had fun and went out of line pursuing that, but I guarantee you that this event was likely not fun for the children at this point. Though, I could always be wrong. Perhaps these kids happen to like seeing their moms brawl. I can’t say for sure.

I know these things are going to happen. I’m not perfect and I can’t expect anyone else to be. Still, if we could keep the brawling between parents at what are supposed to be fun events for kids, I think it would be a good thing. Just saying.

Can we do one week without something like this happening? Please?
