What does a person need with Easter?

I don't even know what an animal does with Easter. It varies greatly what I do. Sometimes I act like a real writer on the street. Then I look at a paving stone, slowly take a notebook out of my pocket, and then pretend to write something down. But another time I just lie still for six hours on a bench with a pot of stew on my belly.

How does the Easter event start in the Dijkshoorn household?

Crying. Because we have to cut the butter lamb. I find that terrible. It's like shooting a cow in the head with a steel nail while in your underwear. I always start with the butt, but that's actually even worse because then you only have its little head left. Tanja (friend) and I talk to that little head. A story about the meadow and a horizon. But it doesn't help much.

Bowls of filled eggs, spooning advocaat, or also watching football with a pot of beer?

I don't like eggs. You can ask around. Breakfasting with Easter is therefore a dreadful undertaking. I do like an Easter bread. I always buy the one that says: luxury Easter bread. I don't know what makes it luxurious, but it tastes different right away. More luxurious.

What does Nico Dijkshoorn listen to, watch, and read on the weekend?

I always play a record by Sufjan Stevens at Christmas and Easter. It doesn't really matter which one. But the song Chicago on his album Illinois, I could listen to for a lifetime. What a drama and what a love. And yet again, not.

Assuming the Easter weekend has no obligations, civil matters like family, time difference, and money. What does your Easter weekend look like then? Who are you with, where, and what are you doing?

Then I want to buy gadgets and the stores are not open. I'm with Tanja and sometimes with my children, Bob and Marlon.

How do you prefer to see women at Easter?

Melting like a butter lamb.

Do you have a nice Easter poem for us?
