CHILDREN searching for chocolate on an Easter Egg hunt found a HAND GRENADE instead.

Police called in the bomb squad to explode the device after kids found it lying in a field.

Shocked dad Stuart Moffatt raised the alarm after he saw a young boy standing on the grenade during the egg hunt near Holford, Somerset.

“We were beginning to count the eggs up at the end of the hunt and I saw a young boy, around three-years-old, standing on an object.

“On closer inspection we realised it looked like a hand grenade. It was brown and about three or four inches high.

Avon and Somerset Police confirmed the grenade had been destroyed and bomb disposal teams declared the area safe.

Sounds like the Easter Bunny has a few anger issues.

Am I imagining things? It seems like I read this same story every year.

I suppose that it’s also possible that I’m caught in Vonnegut’s Chrono Synclastic Infundibulum.

"HOW did I know you’d be here?

An inspired guess?

When my brother graduated from Marine Corp basic training at Parris Island, we of course went down to see him. It was before my mother stopped smoking and he gave her a realistic looking hand grenade lighter! When it ran out of fluid, my sister and I’d use it as a toy. I even brought it to middle school one day and freaked out my math teacher. He took it for the rest of the day. :( In this day and age a 13 year old girl with a real looking hand grenade in school and I’d still be serving time!

What’s that one cop doing with his fingers in his ears? One would think the bomb-disposal guys would be a bit more professional!

Those are just regular rozzers.
As to what he’s up to ,Who can ever tell with coppers! :)

All your bunny Peeps are belong to us.
