Exhibit A: This is what the Easter Bunny brought Firegazer this morning. It is now 9pm and all contents are still neatly in place. Firegazer is a hoarder.
Exhibit B: The Easter Bunny brought me the same loot. By 9pm all the loot is gone. M is a scoffer par excellence. Chocolate egg for breakfast, bunny for lunch, carrot umbrellas for tea.
Are you a scoffer, or a hoarder?

I love carrot umbrellas. I am a scoffer extrodinaire and feel quite ill after eating bunny ears. (He had big ears). (OK, I ate more than his ears, his head too). (OK OK I ate all of him. Feel better?)
Had my kids (briefly) enthralled with one of those lived in shoebox in t' road tales today about how my brothers and I would make our East eggs last til the September school holidays.
I was taking my 20% tithe of their Bilby haul while they listened. Sometimes it pays to tell good stories.
Easter. EastER. How did that happen?
Carrots are healthy and make a fine dinner.
I just ate about a kilo of egg embedded with hundreds and thousands and I feel quite SICK INDEED.
I'm such a total scoffer. In fact, since I now live alone and am my own Easter bunny, I decided that waiting until Sunday morning to make the delivery was optional, and ate the majority of my chocolate stash yesterday. My sister's the same, but my brother is a hoarder, and used to drive us crazy by leaving his eggs whole and uneaten for weeks, even months after Easter. Often when he decided to open them the chocolate had gone off, yet somehow this never deterred him from doing the same thng the next year, just to taunt us.
Happy Easter!
I'm such a hoarder that it's ridiculous.
I've still got last years' uneaten chocolate bunny in my fridge. And, it'll probably still be there next year. I'm waiting for my midnight chocolate craving phase to hit. (Obviously it hasn't been happening lately!)
Oh, and I made the boys make their eggs last for almost a year too. I used them as rewards.
What a mean Easter Bunny am I!!
It's okay though... because they come home from DH's vomiting up chocolate. So it all balances out in the end.
I hoard, but by necessity. If the boys see chocolate of any kind (even cooking chocolate or my fancy Lindt chocolate) they'll scoff it. I hide it, then forget that I had it until I find it a few months later.
My kids are never with me till Easter, so every year I buy myself an egg to have on Easter Sunday. I'm such a scoffer that I ate it two weeks ago.
I am a complete scoffer and my husband is a mad hoarder. The results... a sick wife and an angry husband as his secret stash gets depleted when he is not looking! We have found the compromise though, I can't eat chocolate straight from the fridge, it tastes waxy to me, I like mine slightly melty so husband keeps his in the fridge and I take it out during the day when he is at work, let it melt slightly and then SCOFF IT! And he can't do or say anything because I am A HUNDRED MONTHS PREGNANT!!! WIN!
Scoffer ... my sister was a hoarder - I would have eaten all chocolate products by breakfast and she would line up her booty, uneaten, and keep it that way for weeks - evil man - evil!
SCOFFER!
I guess I must be a hoarder because I still have exactly 1/2 my loot left at 12noon Monday! Mr Brown scoffs, which is why he only got 1/2 as much as he expected, because he'd scoffed during the 2 weeks before.
SCOFFING ALL THE WAY...until I feel ill. Then ill feeling passes and I scoff some more.
CHoccy for brekky, a bit more for lunch, more for dinner.....
Ooh, my sister has just arrived and brought me more....eggscellent!
Scoff, scoff, scoff.
I love to see all those scoffers! I am quite amused by all the scoffers who are so adept at their art that the chocolate doesn't even make it to Easter Sunday!
The hoarder in our house STILL hasn't touched his Easter loot. Grrr. It is in serious danger of being pirated.
I hoard for a while, but its been hard this year with miss nearly 4 following me around with my giant egg, wanting me to open it, complete with giant egg voice saying "eat me", over and over....
Scoffer! How can they hold out to hoard?! That's more temptation than I can stand.
I'm not a scoffer or a hoarder. I'm a confiscator. I've impounded all chocolate on the premises and I'm dishing it out in medicinally acceptable dosages.
I think I'm a reformed scoffer. Now I'm like Fairlie I'm afraid, although I'd not been clever enough to come up with a name for it. The Confiscator. I like it. Also, Frogdancer wins!
Meanwhile I'm still scoffing. Just helped Firegazer to polish off his carrot umbrellas and his egg. Feeling a little queasy. But.must.go.on.
My sister was a hoarder until the year that the dog found her stash, ate it all and then sicked it up all over the kitchen floor. That proved to my sister that scoffing means less wastage.
I'm a hoarder, my white Lindt rabbit is still safely ensconced at the back of the refrigerator.
My 3 year old is the biggest hoarder - she has had one bite of chocolate since the bunny visited!
I'm with you - bring it on when it is Vitamin C :) le
ps I think it is time fire gazer shared with you .... hhee heee
Horder. I believe there are several eggs in the pantry left over from LAST YEAR'S Easter. Not including the many severals from last weekend. At least I'm not likely to run out of special treats for the kids.
Committed scoffer, also the sister of a hoarder, she would take one minuscule nibble each day, baffling.
Little bit of both for me. I would eat half and save the rest for later. It looks yummy!
Hoarders are evil wicked people. They enjoy showing off their chocolate while the scoffers have none.
Scoffers, on the other hand, are great people. They willingly sacrifice their own calorie count for the rest of the family. I eat it because I care too much...
Sorry - did the bunny come while I wasn't looking?
No eggs for me....got a fluffy white dress to try and fit into!
But if there WERE eggs....they'd most definitely be scoffed!
This is one area where my kids differ greatly.
Eldest, generally more considered child, scoffs his down as fast as his little hands, mouth and mother will let him.
Younger, impulsive child defies convention and takes tiny nibbles therefore ensuring that his chocolate lasts months (and provides him with the ability to taunt his chocolate exhausted elder brother).
I'm a private scoffer.
