Quick question to start us off. The first Easter eggs were dyed what color?
Steve:Ooh, my guess is going to be red.
Lovella:Correct.
Lovella:Welcome to Kids First Parents, the family trivia battle where the back seat takes on the front seat.
Steve:I'm Steve.
Lovella:And I'm Lovella.
Steve:And today we're doing Easter trivia because this weekend is Easter.
Lovella:Yay! Happy Easter.
Steve:Happy Easter, everybody. Our prize today is for an extra Easter egg.
Steve:So you can take an Easter egg from the loser's Easter basket. How about we do that?
Lovella:Yeah. Okay. I like that.
Steve:So if I win, I get an Easter egg from your basket. If you win, you get an Easter egg from my basket.
Lovella:Looks like I'm getting another chocolate today.
Steve:All right. Who goes first today, Lovella?
Lovella:I think the kids should go first.
Steve:Okay, kids. You're up first. Get your bunny ears on.
Lovella:Okay.
Steve:Question number one.
Steve:What day of the week is Easter always celebrated on?
Lovella:Oh, that's an easy one, Dad.
Lovella:I think it's Sunday.
Lovella:Yeah.
Lovella:You sure?
Lovella:Yeah.
Steve:The day the Easter bunny comes.
Lovella:Sunday.
Steve:Sunday.
Lovella:Sunday.
Steve:You're correct.
Lovella:Yes.
Steve:Well done.
Steve:I started with an easy one for you.
Steve:All right.
Steve:Question number two.
Steve:What Easter treat is made of marshmallow and shaped like chicks or bunnies?
Lovella:Oh, that is, yeah.
Steve:Do you know it?
Lovella:Can you see it?
Steve:Yes, I know.
Lovella:You can visualize it.
Lovella:It's Peeps.
Lovella:Peeps.
Steve:That's correct.
Steve:Peeps.
Lovella:Let's go.
Lovella:Those are yummy.
Lovella:Those are yummy.
Lovella:You like those?
Lovella:Yeah.
Lovella:I mean, I don't like to have too much because they're really coated in that sugar.
Lovella:So it's like maybe like two or three is like okay, but then I'm like, no.
Steve:No, I'll take chocolate any day over a peep.
Lovella:I'm more of a candy girl.
Steve:You like lots of sugar, don't you, rather than cocoa.
Steve:All right.
Steve:Question number three.
Steve:This one is a multiple choice question, kids.
Steve:So don't answer until you hear all the options.
Steve:Which holiday sells the most candy?
Steve:Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day, or Halloween?
Lovella:Ooh, okay.
Steve:Which holiday sells the most candy?
Steve:I'm talking about like volume, just the number of candy, not dollars, anything like that.
Steve:It's probably US.
Steve:It's probably US based for those not in US.
Lovella:It's between Halloween and Easter because why would you...
Steve:What about Valentine's Day?
Lovella:There's lots of candy that goes out on Valentine's Day.
Lovella:I just think that why would you do a question that's not the answer to an Easter?
Lovella:That's just me.
Steve:Easter is an option.
Steve:It doesn't necessarily mean it's the answer.
Lovella:I feel like it's going to be Halloween though because like it's Halloween.
Lovella:It's mainly candy.
Lovella:Like you don't have to...
Lovella:On Valentine's Day, you don't have to give candy.
Lovella:You can give something else.
Lovella:Cards.
Lovella:Like a hot stuffy or whatever.
Steve:Flowers.
Lovella:Flowers, yeah.
Lovella:So I'm going to say Halloween.
Steve:You sure?
Steve:Why would I make Halloween the answer in an Easter trivia?
Lovella:I'm going to say Halloween.
Steve:Sticking to Halloween?
Lovella:Yes.
Steve:You are correct.
Steve:Yes.
Steve:Well done.
Steve:Easter does come in second though.
Lovella:Oh.
Lovella:So I was like.
Lovella:According to my research.
Lovella:I was like right.
Lovella:So.
Steve:Yeah.
Steve:You are right.
Steve:Well done.
Steve:Okay.
Steve:You are cleaning up this Easter trivia.
Steve:You know you're Easter.
Steve:Oh yeah.
Steve:All right.
Steve:I need to give you a harder one.
Steve:Okay.
Steve:Question number four.
Steve:Okay.
Steve:So this question is based around the origin of Easter and the reason why,
Steve:for those who celebrate Easter, they celebrate Easter.
Steve:Okay.
Steve:In the Bible, how many days pass between Jesus' death and resurrection?
Steve:So I'm looking for a number.
Steve:How many days?
Lovella:Uh, well, I think he dies on Good Friday.
Lovella:So.
Steve:Uh-huh.
Lovella:in the resurrects Sunday.
Lovella:So that's...
Lovella:How many days?
Lovella:I'm going to guess three days.
Lovella:Yeah, three days.
Steve:Sure.
Lovella:I think so.
Lovella:Yeah, no, it is three days, isn't it?
Lovella:Yeah, I think so.
Steve:Are we counting days or are we counting nights?
Steve:I did ask for days.
Lovella:Oh, man, dad, stop making this harder.
Lovella:Well...
Steve:It's a Friday night, Saturday night, then he rises.
Steve:It's two nights.
Lovella:What do you want me to give you?
Lovella:Days or nights?
Steve:Why don't you give me the answer?
Steve:What did I ask?
Steve:How many days passed between Jesus' death and resurrection?
Lovella:I'm just going to say three.
Steve:You are correct.
Lovella:Yes.
Lovella:Why did you make that so complicated?
Steve:Because I didn't want you to get a clean sweep, but you did.
Lovella:Yes.
Steve:Well done.
Steve:Okay.
