        Sorry, hate to disappoint you, but the tradition changed. Since beg of 90's men go with perfume bottles and spray women in exchange for eggs

        The third day of Easter, the women spray the men, but they use water for real.

        I grew up there and it was never water. It was perfume or cologne and it was a fun day Nothing sexist about it. What Nick says; is correct!

        Looks like abuse to me. Men dressed for cool weather, bare trees indicate cold temps and she's getting soaked.
