????
So I wa in the kitchen at 10:40 eating my breakfast and my mom brought up ants and I'm reeeeally scared of ants caus they 've taken ouver the house and I said there were ants all in the pantry were my food was. My uncle started to tell a story about him eating a box of triscuits and when he was allmost done with it he picked up one and there were red ants all over it!!! >.< and then he just wipped them off and kept eating!!! and he heard the ants screaming for their lives saying "oh the humanaty!!!"
Girl: what the heck??? ants can't talk!!! I'm not 5 I know that!!!
Uncle: Yes they do.
Girl: No they don't and the Easter bunny ain't real either!!!
Uncle: Oh no, not for a while. I killed him. "oh I'm the Easter bunny and I'm gonna give you Easter eggs!!! Hee-Hee!!!" and don't get me started with Santa!
Girl: Why do we celabrate Easter with eggs and a bunny?
Uncle: well I was wondering that one day and i searched it on the internet, on google.
Girl: cool so why?
Uncle: you have to search it and them tell me and I'll tell you if it's right.
Girl: fine.
so i just searched it and this is what i found.
Why have rabbits and eggs become linked with Easter?

Eggs, of course, are ancient symbols of fertility, for very obvious reasons, while the Seder meal incorporates a hard boiled egg as a symbol of new life. The ancient Persians also painted eggs for Nowrooz, their New Year celebration falling on the spring equinox. An egg has also been seen to be associated with the rebirth or resurrection of Christ. The custom of eating them also derives from the fact that they were forbidden during Lent. There are a great many rituals associated with eggs, mainly dating from Mediaeval times in Europe, usually involving decorating, throwing, rolling or hiding eggs for children to find them.
The Easter bunny or rabbit comes from the hare, another ancient, pre-Christian symbol of fertility associated with spring. But it gets even more complicated than that. Anglo-Saxon mythology says Eostara changed her pet bird into a rabbit to entertain a group of children, and the rabbit laid brightly coloured eggs for them.
The chocolate bunny, like the chocolate Easter egg, is a much more recent idea, stemming from 18th and 19th-century middle European confectionery traditions, many of which were adopted in Britain.
{Wikipedia}
Eggs, like rabbits and hares, are fertility symbols of extreme antiquity; since birds lay eggs and rabbits and hares give birth (to large litters) in the early spring, these became symbols of the rising fertility of the earth at the Vernal Equinox.
