Heading into Easter weekend you’re bound to see a lot of egg related things the next few days. Egg hunts, painting eggs, candy eggs, but why are eggs such a big part of Easter?
It goes back to the ancient pagan celebrations around spring time. Eggs are symbols of fertility, new life, and the start of spring. In the Christian religion Easter eggs are symbols which represent Jesus’ emergence from the tomb and resurrection. Along the same lines of “rebirth”.
With all of the buzz surrounding Anna getting a tattoo covered up, we thought it would be fun to let you choose who you believe has the worst tattoo on he show!

Lots of Easter Baskets will be handed out this week, but if you’re the type of parent to steal candy out of your child’s basket, that’s all I need to know about you! (6:39)
Is Anna being rude? Anna was told the other day that she’s been asking her friends rude questions, so she decided to give Raven some examples and let him decide if she’s being inappropriate! (9:56)
There’s so many songs about Santa Claus, but why are there almost no songs about the Easter Bunny? Anna decided to correct this by having Producer Jon write a new one! (13:54)
Would you ever go on a vacation by yourself? Raven had a friend do this recently and Anna thought it was the weirdest thing ever! (17:18)
If you get one of your kid’s names tattooed on your body, do you have to do it for all your other kids too? Anna is having this exact problem and she’s not sure what to do about it, so she decided to ask a professional tattoo artist for help! (24:36)

Henrietta and Adam’s 23-year-old daughter would like to work with them to take over their party rental company. Henrietta thinks it’s okay, she graduated college, and if she has a passion for taking over their company one day, then why not? Adam disagrees. He thinks she’s better and more educated than delivering tents and chairs. Whose side are you on? (36:15)

Sweet, confident, curious—that’s Curvy! This beautiful 4-year-old girl is at the Connecticut Humane Society and looking for her new home. She is always happy to receive affection, and even comes if you call her! (Well, most of the time!) She may even roll over for you! She was found outside and is relieved to be indoors with meals she can count on and blankets she can nap in. If you’re interested in making this girl your new family member, see more at CThumane.org/adopt.

Q: 30% of dog owners admit they have used one of these for their dog before. What is it?
We all aspire to land our dream job or career at some point in life. But most of us don’t achieve it by 3 years old!
A three-year-old kid in Canada who is always telling his parents how he wants to be a firefighter decided to help him out and draft up a résumé to send to their local fire department. That’s exactly what they did and once the department heard about it they made him a “junior member” of their crew!
You’re probably wondering how much “experience” he has at 3 years old? A lot actually. They included things like knowing a lot about fire engines, having a basic understanding of hydraulics, and successfully completing a firefighting coloring book. So great.
He got a full tour the fire station and even got o ride around on a fire truck. It’s safe to say they probably have a future firefighter on their hands now.
Easter is coming up this weekend. You may have already started eating boxes of Peeps though. What exactly are those things made of?
Obviously it starts with the soft marshmallow based, which they then roll in colored sugar. For the little eyes they use an edible wax.
Some other fun Peep facts to drop on your family on Sunday. Back in 1953, it took 27 hours to make a 1 Peep. Today, they can knock them out in six minutes. During Easter every year we as Americans will consume more than 600 million Peeps! That’s a lot of sugary goodness.
Is feeding your spouse cake at your wedding a weird tradition that should be done away with? Only one way to find out! By putting Raven and Producer Sean in an uncomfortable situation.
