The 'Eastern Witches', as the children are also called, are mostly girls. Boys can also participate if they like, but generally seem less interested in this communal custom. Women kind have their own thing with chocolate.

I don't agree with Baum that Eastern Witches are especially "wicked", despite the lust for chocolate. On the contrary, it's easy to imagine some kind of elemental connection between chocolate eggs and changing diapers. Putting more masculine creativity into developing better recyclable diapers - for both babies and the elderly! - is a very rational and justified concrete wish I've heard expressed, not less important than spear throwing with rocket science or electric cars.

I think and feel that our custom of Eastern Witches giving their spring blessing is a better education system than the one that produces tricks like this:

And so this is where Lou's topic has lead, pretty much confirming what I felt about going in this direction ... time to move on.
