Today I asked the students to
tell me the difference between Czech Easter and American Easter. I assumed it
was a semi important topic as there is a slight chance that such a questions
might pop up on the maturita exam… oh and tomorrow is the first day of Easter
holiday for the school.
Result: lots of “hmmmm’s”. So after 40 minutes of a
discussion we came up with this:
We (Czech Republic)
- · Celebrate it on Monday (an extra free day is nice)
- · Color eggs (nice and fun for kids)
- · Eat eggs (not as much fun if you are eating them for a week after)
- · Whip girls (…hmmm…no comment on this)
- · Drink shots of vodka while visiting neighbors (…hmmm… I hope they don’t drive afterwards)
YOU (United
States)
- · Celebrate on Sunday ( no extra free days)
- · Search for eggs (lots of extra work)
- · No eating of eggs (the ones left by Easter Bunny are plastic)
- · No whipping (probably a rule about harassment)
- · No drinking (it’s a Sunday and most states forbid the sale of alcohol)
- · Oh, there is the Easter Bunny who brings mini gifts and well… is imaginary…
So
conclusion… The students will be more than glad to go whip some girls and drink
on Monday rather than come to school!
Happy
Easter Holidays
