What in THE hell

is wrong with you people.

Sorry to be late to the party but Easter still has me reeling.

Normally I avoid family Easter dinners like the plague but hey, even a jazz man gets hungry for a good feast from time to time so I showed up this year.

Apparently things have changed since my last celebration. As the playas are fond of saying "they got the game all messed up".

I refer to the apparently burgeoning tradition of having the Easter egg hunt with plastic eggs filled with cash. It seems that this is a thing and lots of people are doing it.

What is wrong with you people. I mean what is the message here, that Jesus died so you could hunt for cash in the bushes.

I am just as much in favor of a good misdirected holiday as the next person. But things have gotten out of hand.

When I was a kid your mother helped you make your own Easter eggs with those little vials of food coloring that only came in the primary colors. You soaked your boiled eggs one at a time in a coffee cup of the hot mixture for a few minutes and you got a colored egg. And in the process you learned useful shit like mixing yellow and blue together produced green eggs.

But the only things kids seem to be learning now is "that bitch betta have my money"
