Gimme a Spiderman egg!

Kids in Brazil don't get Easter baskets from the Easter Bunny. In fact, unless I'm mistaken, the Easter Bunny is a relatively new thing. What kids get are giant chocolate Easter eggs. The eggs are normally hollow but have prizes inside. The eggs are themed. You can get Spiderman, Batman, Barbie, M&M, and a ton of other choices. Stores hang the chocolate eggs in the aisles of the stores. They aren't hung from the ceiling. Stores have special metal bars which are set up just for Easter. You have to walk under the eggs in your quest to find that special egg. There are hundreds and hundreds that unless you are short, ya gotta duck!

This year Wes wants Batman. Michael wants Spiderman. Rachel wanted one that I can't even begin to know how to spell, but it's good chocolate.

Kids wake up and find their chocolate eggs like American kids find an Easter basket. And in Brazil, there's no Easter Egg hunting. I mean, if there's no Easter Bunny, who would have hid the eggs?
