Does the Easter bunny bring Easter eggs to Korea?
I shopped for Easter Eggs for my newphew & niece (T&G) in Korea with my 7 year old at Jamin.”Why were we buying Easter eggs, Easter is ages away, and why would be sending Easter Eggs to Korea”. With all the “whys” , I answered without thinking about the consequences. I told her the Easter eggs in Korea were not very nice and we had been asked to send some to T&G. She quietly helped me fill the bags, but her humor changed and went rapidly downhill. I could not comprehend the sudden “freeze” and eventually enquired further. She refused to answer and got sulky. Not sure what was coming next I had one more go at what the “ problem” might be. The issue bothering her was very different to what I expected. “Why does the Easter bunny not bring Easter eggs to Korea?” “And if he does not bring them to Korea will he bring them to us in the Netherlands?” (the real issue).
Quickly back tracking we had a conversation about different foods deserts and sweets being popular in different countries. And the Easter bunny does not always bring the kind of chocolate to T&G in Korea that they like, so just in case we were sending some.

I forgot that kids think in a different way and that she is after all only 7!
