How Many Bunnies Can You Fit Into a Half Bath?

Half Bath BunniesThis is something that the children of friends find to be fascinating when they visit.  We have quite a bunny rabbit collection in our half bath.  There are stuffed rabbits, figurines, pictures on the wall, a folded baby blanket as a shelf runner, a fleece bunny rabbit cover for the keenex box …

Counting them all is really quite tricky:

  • Do you count just the whole number of rabbit themed items?  37
  • What if one figurine or picture contains more than one rabbit?  One figurine has a rabbit family of eight
  • Do you count all the individual rabbits instead of the whole number of items?  72, not including the baby blanket /shelf runner
  • What if the items don’t have visible rabbits? The nesting rabbit doll has two rabbits hidden inside the outer one and that folded baby blanket has dozens of whole and partial rabbits – what part of a partial bunny counts as a whole? 
  • Do you count the two live rabbits that are running in and out of the half bath as you are counting? 1, no 2, no 1, no 0, no 2

It is a fun exercise that doesn’t have a clearly definable answer.  It is somewhere between 37 and 150, depending on how you count them.   Without realizing what I was creating, my half bath has become the essence of bunnyness.  Rabbits like to come and go, now you see them and now you don’t.  Sometimes they are in plain view but hidden from clear observation.  In the wild they live in large groups and multiply rapidly.

Welcome to Rabbittude!  Now don’t let the rabbits distract you too much from the task at hand, please flush and wash your hands before exiting.
