Mount Pleasant Magazine March/April 2018

He told me he had thousands of descendants, most of them employees of his not-for-profit Easter Bunny Enterprises, Inc. “It’s great having a family-owned and operated company dedicated to spreading joy among kids. You know, we’ve been doing this since around the 18th century,” he boasted. “In general, we’ve been a positive force for happiness, although I’ve had a few disappointments. For example, I’ve always resented Peter Cottontail. He had a song written about him and, frankly, he was a lousy worker. On the other hand, his sisters Mopsy and Flopsy have been terrific. Mopsy is our senior vice president and Flopsy is our CFO. They’re terrific.” Emboldened, I asked the Bunny what he did in the off-season. “A great deal of my time is spent just planning for the next season,” he answered. “For a few years, I supplemented my income by working for a big insurance company. For a while there I thought I was in line to become their commercial spokesman. Then some little green guy with a funny accent – a salamander or something – got the gig. So it goes.” His attitude changed a little when I asked him how he happened to be in Mount Pleasant. “I’m here most of the year. When I was scouting locations for some new candy warehouses, I found a great location in a nearby county,” he explained. “In order to be close to the action but in a fun community, I settled in Mount Pleasant. I’d rather not say exactly where, but if you guessed Hamlin Plantation, you wouldn’t be far off. I mean, what’s not to like here? Big homes; great golf courses; restaurants to die for. From the Ravenel Bridge to Awendaw, it’s a little bit of paradise. I’On, Park West – it’s all terrific” “Where I live and where I hang out, no one hassles me,” he added. “They just think I’m a big guy with funny looking ears and whiskers. They’re probably all too busy working as starters or rangers on golf courses to worry about a giant rabbit living next door.” I thanked the Bunny for his time and offered to buy another round, but he declined my generosity. “Gotta go meet with the head of the Hare Family. They’ve been trying to muscle in on rabbit turf for years, and I either have to scare them off or make a deal,” he said. “Frankly, I’m inclined to give them a piece of the action. Easter Bunny Enterprises can always use some extra help, as long as they stay out of Mount Pleasant.” With that, he hopped out the door onto Coleman Boulevard. That’s the last I’ve seen of him.
