Personally, I always eat the ears off my chocolate Easter bunny first. Always have ... always will. Never thought about affecting the poor bunny's hearing, however!
In grade 4 our teacher taught us a song that started
"I got a brand new Easter Outfit
A coat and hat and all the rest.
But there was one thing more form the candy store
That I really loved the best"
... it goes on to recite how he ate it starting as you do Charles with eating the ears on Monday. I've never heard the song anywhere else.
