Here Comes Peter Cottontail...But Only If You Were Good

The twelve-year-old says:

"I can't wait until tomorrow morning!"

Me: Really? Why?

"Because I'll get my Easter basket!"

Me: (thinking) Oops. I didn't get a basket, per se. And how long do I HAVE to keep up this facade? 

Me: "Hmm. I don't know. I guess we'll have to wait and see." 

"The Easter Bunny doesn't care if I was good."
"Yes, he does."

(long pause)

"Oh. Well. That's news to me."
