Why Do We Fly Kites on Easter

A co worker, who is from another country told me he spent his Easter
flying kites. I asked him why, was it a tradition. He told me he doesn't
know why, that's what his family does every Easter. Okaaaaay.

So, why do cultures fly kites on Easter, lets take a look. Have you seen
that movie Chicken Heart, with Lisa Bonet and Robert Deniro? Deniro
plays the devil. Towards the end he is eating boiled eggs. Eggs
represent the soul. While he is eating them, his fingernails grow
longer, that like of the devil. Okay, I degressed, back to Easter.

Okay, Easter, people go Easter Egg hunting, right? So, does the eggs
represent lost souls. And, why and where do rabbits, bunny rabbits come
into play at ? This has me thinking, cause rabbits don't lay eggs ya
know. Do rabbits represent all that pure, and the reason why kids,
search for eggs during the Easter egg hunt?

I remember when I was in elementry school. We practice in the gym for
about 2 weeks for this May Flower Pole thing they were holding in
Central Park. Mostly all the elementry schools in The zSouth Brons was
represented. Now check this out. You know the Old Couple that use to
come on TV? In the opening credits, they show some school kids at a May
Flower get together in Central Park. Look closely, if you know me, you
will see a little me.

I don't know why shit like this just pops into my head.
