  10. She adopted a bunny a few years ago- or intended on adopting a bunny. She did this without telling anyone in the family, not even her husband, in advance- thinking, “it’s just one bunny…”  However, she accidentally came home with 6 bunnies, since her bunny ended up being pregnant at the time.  The baby bunnies were really cute for those 6 weeks we had them until we rehomed four of them.  We kept one of them as a friend for mom.
