    1. Never have I been so embarrassed and ashamed at watching my son search for Easter eggs.

      My daughter couldn’t find the last one either. My wife, who hid them, helped look- we walked all around the house multiple times – in the rain.

      We finally gave up and went inside.

      The last egg was in the basket nestled deeply in the fake grass stuff. Smh.

    3. Honestly, I would have given her a clue or something. Seeing a child understand failure and then resolve is much better than just sulking in failure.

    4. Kindergarten/daycare we had an Easter egg hunt. I went round to the side of the house and all I saw was some litter including an old cup. I went on my way as another classmate ventured further and looked in the cup. Guess who found the golden egg. Yea, not me

    5. My daughter is doing this now. She is getting upset but she said she wanted it hard.

      I made riddles for another egg location and put them in all the eggs if she gets them all an underlined letter scramble is at play and it leads her to the final prize.

    6. This is my Stardew Valley character during the egg hunt after the timer runs out right when I’m about to pick up the egg that will make me the winner.

      Screw you Abigail!

      We used to have the Easter beer hunt. Kids got 25 cents for every bottle they found and delivered back to the adults. For years thereafter unfound beers were discovered in rain gutters, tree crotches, in window wells and in sprinkler boxes. Many found by landscapers, plumbers, yard guys etc. I bet there are still some out there!

    8. Fun fact: Not limited to young girls.

      I hid a dozen chocolate eggs around the house for my mom to find. So far she has found 4.

      this is literally me when i lose something and decide my life is over instead of just… looking properly 😭 i remember once i dropped my airpod and fully laid face down on the floor like this for a solid minute before even trying to find it lol

      Had the same exact situation with my daughter. The last egg was in the uno attack dilaposaurus head. She was beside herself she couldn’t find the very last egg. Finally she goes, ‘wouldn’t it be funny if the egg was in here?’ And reached inside the mouth……and voila! There was the last egg. Took a few melt downs but she found it!

    11. My daughter was mad that the easter bunny didn’t hide chocolate around the house.

      It did, it just assumed an 8 year old would at least *try*.

      So I guess we are just going to find random chocolate eggs we forgot about for the next 20 years.

    12. I’ll never recover from a Easter egg hunt I did as a kid. I forget what the grand prize was but I was right behind the kid who found the golden egg who got the grand prize. Turns out though he wasn’t in the correct age bracket and shouldn’t have been there. I was gutted still am 20 years later.

    13. There was never a “last” egg in my house. They wanted to let us search indefinitely; there could always be “one more” to keep us busy.

      I mean I can’t really blame her. The bunny would have to perform some kind of insertion removal to get it to lay there. No one expects a laid egg to end up like that.

      She’s going to see this picture every easter for the rest of her life, isn’t she?
