Ok, so this didn't actually happen on Easter, but it was a touching conversation between my niece and I and I have the time today to share it. Recently, while standing in my parent's backyard with my 6-year-old neice, Elianna, I was watching my 7-year-old nephew, Junito play soccer with my dog. Then, probably as a result of consuming some type of dairy, I farted.

http://risforrace.blogspot.com/2013/06/a-tale-of-two-schools.html
