The picture that flashed up on
our local ABC news station was unbelievable: two women in a dramatic wrestling pose on the floor of a local mall. The one on the bottom was Mrs. Easter Bunny and she decided Mr. Easter Bunny was done working fifteen minutes earlier than the posted time. 27 Soccer Moms were ticked off and things quickly got ugly.
I went over and talked to her and said it's a quarter to eight, you could still be taking pictures. She's like, 'Because I felt like it.' and at that time she sucker punched me in the face," said Johansson.
Art McClure took off his Easter Bunny head and joined in. He says he jumped in to protect Frechette, his wife.
More of the Easter Bunny fiasco below:
Mrs. Johansson was even more upset after she saw the pics. It seems she didn't know Mr. Easter Bunny was whacking her in the back of the head - must have been the fur muting the blows.
After the pleading of self-defense to the local rangers law enforcement officers fell on short, furless, and apparently deaf ears, Mr. Easter Bunny was hauled off to the briar patch hoosegow, much to the delight of the other inmates.
"All the people in jail were like, 'Oh I'm going to tell my kids I was locked up with the Easter Bunny last night,'" said McClure.
Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny were promptly fired, and apologies were meted out to the victorious Soccer Moms (who, as fate would have it, never got the pictures they were after) and their children. Scarred (no, not really) and traumatized, Mrs. Johansson stated she wasn't returning to try to get the pics again, and now wonders just who the heck gets hired to put on those funky suits.
Really though, shouldn't she thought of that before she went so naively into the mall? Hasn't she watched all those holiday movies filled with drunken, murderous Santas? What was she thinking?!
So, there you have it, folks. I don't know if this should be classified as a "Happy Story" or a "WYFP" or a "Where's that Smite button again?" diary. Whichever way you choose to look at it, I hope there was a smile in there somewhere.
