Rabbits Don't Like Rain

I have never really researched why a giant bunny hides eggs to celebrate the rebirth of Christ and why children are forced to devour large chocolate replicas of this bunny. What I do have is first hand knowledge of how to craft a story to explain the large rabbits absence in a torential down pour.
Rabbits don't like rain! I saw the rabbit dash through the backyard spalshing all the way. He dropped a huge basket with all the eggs but just kept going. His ears hung low and fur a tangled mess. I ran out to save the colored eggs scattered on the patio and decided that he must have left them for me to hide inside during the storm. This is why Brendan found me the way he did - hiding eggs amongst the furniture. " Is that really what happed momma?" Brendan asked with a quizzical look. "Are you lying to me?" Brendan continued to question. " I am pretty sure that's what I saw how else would you explain the large basket of eggs?" I retorted. " Yeah! rabbits sure don't like rain do they mom?" and that was that. Harvey would be so proud!
