Did you ever believe in the Easter Bunny? If so, at what age did you stop believing?

I stopped believing at the age of 10, when the hospital Easter Bunny turned out to be two guys sans costumes handing out eggs.

I don't remember ever believing. I don't think my kids do either. They believe in Santa though. (My husband talked me into that--I didn't want to do any of them. It feels like lying. So, I always evade the questions...)

By the time I knew about the Easter Bunny, I was too old to believe in it.

I stopped believing in the Easter Bunny when I was eight and my youngest brother caught our dad sneaking in the Easter baskets. My brother ruined our Easter by telling me,

I was seven or eight. It was hard to imagine a giant rabbit that was human sized, and the only photos I had seen of him were people in costumes, which always looked different.

I still pretended to believe in him.

I believed in the Easter Bunny for quite a while. Looking back I wonder why I was dumb enough to think a human-sized rabbit in a tuxedo came to our house during the night leaving us candy and some toys. :albino:

I don't think I ever really believed but I went along with it when adults acted like he was real. It was the same for me with santa & the tooth fairy.

lol no. I didn't even hear about the Easter bunny until I was in elementary school. I never believed in Santa or the tooth fairy either. I knew who gave me presents for x-mas and b-day, and who exchanged teeth for coins.
I relished both the presents and the money of course, and the chocolate filled Easter eggs.

I was 10 when I stopped believing in the Easter Bunny. I put 2 and 2 together and I heard my parents talking about the price of Easter candy one night as I was falling asleep.

I never believed in him because I was never really told about it. But I never even heard about it either, as a child. I think it's more of an American thing.

I did believe in Santa, right til I was 9.
