This morning as I was going through the thousand library books on our shelf, I spied two bunnies out the window. They seemed to be friends. Except then one jumped straight up in the air, and landed in the same spot it had jumped from. The other bunny (facing the first bunny, their noses almost touching), suddenly reached out with its front paw and hit the first bunny right across the face! A bunny fight! Or something! The jumping bunny immediately turned and hopped a few steps away. But before long they were face to face, or should we say nose to nose? By this time, the kids are all crowding around me trying to see what I'm describing. Again a bunny hop, straight up in the air. Are they fighting? Are they friends? We didn't see anymore hitting, they both went back to nibbling on the grass.
Now follows the discussion, the kids quoting what they think the bunnies are saying to each other.
Archer "You did it wrong you fool! Not like THAT!"
"Quit showing off, I can jump higher than that!"
"Quit fooling around, we're here for breakfast, then we have to get to school!"
And your thoughts? What did the one bunny say to the other?

I think the one guy bunny was saying to the other guy bunny "Get out of my territory or else I will give you a lucky rabbit charm up aside the head." And then, because he knew a lady rabbit was watching from somewhere in the bushes, he jumped straight up in the air to show her just how strong and powerful he was. Because every rabbit knows that he who jumps the highest always gets the pretty girl.
Your grandchildren laughed when they read your comment, nice G-rated version of the events :)
