It always amused me that bunnies of this era (Beatrix Potter) were invariably pictured, as here, without trousers. Later, I was introduced to the 'sans culottes' of the French Revolution, and for a long time believed that Mary Antoinette had been executed by a mob of bunnies!

Maybe they don't wear pants because they poo a lot and often.
Hahaha... French bunnies manning the guillotine.

Merde!

I don't speak French but I recognise that word! The other one I know is oui as a companion piece.

Anglo-Gallic rules OK!
Comment from Wils
From the start of this I was expecting to see Peter Rabbit stealing carrots from Mr McGregor's garden. Loved the twist and glad that no bunny was injured in the writing of this piece.

I'm pleased I misled you... up the garden path with Peter Rabbit.

You got me here Lisa before explaining this was a ceramic breakfast bowl! Rabbits rarely invade gardens in the UK. I see them in the parks though. A fun flash fiction and this could be a winner for the contest, humorous and entertaining, love Dolly x

Thank you for thinking so highly of my story, Dolly.
Comment from royowen
This is what a flash fiction work is all about, one has to have what is a normal sounding story, and then that ending that comes out of left field, like this one, beautifully written Jenny, good luck, blessings Roy

Thanks for your super review Roy - I'm pleased you appreciated the 'left field' ending. Did you have a bunnykins bowl? I know they were popular in Australia.

I?m afraid we didn?t Jenny, although we had lots of bowls, still do.
Comment from Wendy G
Excellent writing with a great build up. I have to admit to being shocked when the poor rabbit dropped and exploded. Yet I was sad about the broken bowl too. I have one also, used just today with the one year old. This should do well in the contest. I hope so. Original and creative.

Thanks Wendy. I hope I don't traumatise anyone with the exploding bunny!
Comment from lyenochka
I'm glad you're posting as it makes me feel that you're feeling okay!
And you had us scared about a dead bunny in this story. Instead the only destruction was of the bunny-design dishware. I like how you used the flashback in this flash fiction. Best wishes in the contest!!

I'm feeling fine - no sign of Covid symptoms. But Andrew has given it to his mother.
Thanks for reviewing. I love my bunny bowl.
-
Thanking the Lord that you don't have Covid! You were protected!!

i've heard it is still possible to have it some time after initial contact so I am still keeping away from others for a while in case I do have it and it hasn't shown up yet. I feel it is better to be cautious.

I agree. It was interesting how long the members of my daughter's family took to show symptoms. My son-in-law and oldest granddaughter didn't seem to have it until a week later.
