put on that easter bonnet
mix up a big pitcher
of sugar and kool aid
just 5 cents a pack
mix in a pack of kids
(free)
sit back
with your own beverage of choice
and watch the parade begin!
what could be more fun??!
looks like these kids
may be on their second pitcher.

We never drank Kool-Aid (which I guess has a different meaning now).

Kool-Aid wasn’t sold here, but I think those kids mixed in some vodka with theirs!

No Kool-Aid or parades at our house. With five kids we were too busy hiding, finding, re- hiding, and re-finding eggs all day long. We were using real eggs back then and the concern was that we wouldn’t find them all. At least not until they started smelling sometime later… The arrival of plastic eggs was a blessing.
