THE DOLLAR STORE BUNNY I chit chat with a saint at church telling her how my grandson spent Kindergarten online. This will follow his class all the way through to high school graduation. His second grade teacher was happy - the class advancing, by leaps and bounds, godspeed ahead. I tell her how the Kindergarten teacher adopted my grandson’s bunny as a pet. She smiles, sparkling eyes and all, and tells me about how her grandson threw his bunny in the air, then it landed on a light and burned up. Now, I surmise that the saint’s bunny, like the Velveteen, is a stuffed rabbit. I tell her my grandson’s is real and we have a big laugh. She admits that the flying bunny was purchased at the Dollar Store - the poor, dearly departed. 5/21/2023
