    Yo. Those eggs aren't even hidden! Not even close. The best thing about easter was the mission to find the hidden eggs. Sometimes they would pop up days (or years later).

YES. Thank you.

    We would find them for hours. The parents would sit and watch and drink and cheer us on and help up find the ones that were hiding in light fixtures and too high for us to reach. A couple of times we found ones that were actually hidden the year before.

It's not FUN to run around picking up eggs. The point is in the thrill of the chase, goddammit. I don't understand why people do it this way. Is it another America's-in-decline, millennials can't handle failure thing? Do they genuinely think 5 year olds can't be happy on Easter unless there are 46 eggs in plain sight?

Hell, we used to hide eggs on days that weren't even Easter because it was such a great way to kill four hours.
