OMG! This was both utterly adorable and delightfully funny! I loved it!

You are such a master (mistress?) at children's logic! I love every single word of this story, GW. Pippin is always *so* patient with the grownups until they finally grasp the sense in what he's trying to do and say. And the grownups are so patient with dear Pip, who always seems to get what he's after... in such a gentle, loving, and instructive way.

Author Reply: Thank you. There are many who would tell you that I do actually think like a child. LOL Glad you enjoyed this one and thank you for saying such sweet things!

I just adore this! Your wee!Pippin is so logical and persistant in his efforts, and Merry, in spite of his cynical bravado, is a push-over and a softy when it comes to his Pip--just don't tell him you've noticed. I adore Bilbo aiding and abetting, and poor Frodo, all worried that Pippin will never figure it out!

And I'm equally impressed with the bath story (must have made bathing Frodo much easier) and the squirrel story. *snerk* Kids *do* say the darndest things!

Author Reply: Funny thing is, this all started with a conversation with Sam who never actually makes it into the story. LOL I really do have a phobia about writing Sam. I thought Bilbo would think this a splendid event and be more than willing to play along. I could also see him and Pip talking about the Bracegirdles. (A bit of movie verse there. hehehe) Poor Frodo always has to be the practical one in these things and once again, I let Merry do a bit of rescue. I guess Errol was more than happy to adopt and Pippin was more than willing to believe in Errol's ability to give birth. I may have to write Frodo's bath story or maybe even Merry's squirrel story at some point!

LOL. How sweet! Little Pip helping Errol to have baby bunnies. Kids do believe the darndest things.

Author Reply: They do and they are so innocent in their beliefs. They will accept most anything as long as they trust the source. Thanks for reading and have a lovely Easterr!

Hee hee hee hee hee ... what a wonderful way to wake up to a sunny morning! Coffee and toast on a sunny deck, and tiny hobbits coming up with their own version of the facts of life. (I think I like their versions better anyway...) Thanks for an absolutely delightful read. I laughed out loud several times when I read this one, and will tuck it away among my favorites to re--read.

Author Reply: Hey, haven't seen you around in a while! Hope you're still writing. Thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed this one. I had fun with Pip's facts of life ideas. I enjoy the way children look at things more than the way adults see them too. Thanks for the lovely review!

Couldn't let this one slip by without commenting on the prologue...

Have saved the chapter for later reading.

Thanks!

Author Reply: LOL You and PF always review my prologues and I thank you both. Have a very Happy Easter and I shall look forward to more of your fictions.

This was a lovely Easter Tail...er, I mean, tale! Little children are so innocent--the things that they soo readily believe to bring their own world into perspective. Merry is a wonderful cousin to wee Pip--he understands him more than anyone.

I so enjoy reading your young Pippin & Merry & Frodo stories!

Happy Easter to you, too! :-)

Author Reply: So glad you liked it. This one was pure fluff and I had fun trying to figure out how Errol was going to manage to have a child. Luckily Merry solved that one for us all and Bilbo was only too happy to help out. LOL

Major and very delightful fluff!

I must confess Errol has taken on a tremendous personality - stories in which he features do tend to be extremely entertaining. And this is so sweet. I'm only surprised that Errol only produced one baby. I could have sworn he would have ended up with three. Which would have given Bilbo's words on rabbit reproduction even more force!

Mind you the tales about Frodo and the baths and Merry and the squirrels are delightful, too. Shame there's no-one old enough to know just what Bilbo was like at the same age.

Very enjoyable!

Author Reply: It would be fun to have stories of Bilbo's childhood. I guess only Bilbo could tell those or maybe Gandalf. That might be interesting. I am so glad that you enjoy Errol's adventures. He was never supposed to get this involved in things but for some reason he's become a regular OC. Only I have stuffed OC's. LOL Thanks so much for reviewing!

What??? Errol wouldn't give out his age? Silly Wabbit...is Elmer Fudd allowed near Ewwol? :-P

This looks like yet another fantastic Grey Wonderer tale...so off I go to indulge myself. :-)

Author Reply: LOL I love Elmer Fudd! He's not here right now, but I do love him. Errol is just being silly. LOL
