How to eat a chocolate rabbit

[pbray]

Take the chocolate bunny personality test.

In my family there is a ritual to devouring the bunny.

First, pick up the bunny.

Second, swing the bunny and whack its head hard against a flat surface, such as a table or counter. This will stun the bunny.

Third, while the bunny is stunned and unable to feel pain, bite the head off. You may now gnaw on the rest of the bunny at leisure.

Yes, this is how we eat chocolate rabbits in our family--a tradition that has been passed on from one generation to the next. I never gave it much thought until I stunned my college roomates as I casually picked up a chocolate rabbit, whacked it against a desk, bit the head off, then asked what they were staring at.

Yes, it's one of those things I thought about, but never looked into. I know a couple of my cousins did in the 1980s, so they could travel on an Irish passport, back in the days when hijacking was everyone's main concern, and an American passport was a red flag.

Both of my mother's parents were from Kenmare, and I've been there a few times, though now only distant relatives are still living there. Most of them emigrated in the 20s when my grandparents left, or their children were the ones to leave, in the 40s and 50s.

Ooh, you should do it while you have the chance. Though I think the applicable parent has to get citizenship first.

Seriously, an Irish passport is an EU passport, and that's DAMN useful to have.

You know, the more I think of it, the more I think I should start the process.

The applicable parent, in this case, is dead, but according to the website for the Irish consulate I should still be able to go through the process if I get copies of the relevant birth & death certificates.

Yep! It takes about a year from when you get the paperwork in, so the faster you get that done the better. Also, from my experience, it will take more than a year, and then you contact them politely and say, "13 months ago you said it would be a year," and two weeks later the papers arrive in your mailbox. :)

EU passport *goooood*. :)
