A three-year-old boy in England was a proud kid, until he realized that what he had found wasn’t an easter egg; Instead, it was a hand grenade and the bomb squad had to be called and postpone any further hunting.

Stuart Moffatt, 34, along with his wife and three children, was at the Holford, Somerset event. Moffatt describes what he was thinking when he saw the toddler standing over the World War II-era explosive.

“We were beginning to count up the eggs at the end of the hunt and I saw a boy of three standing on an object,” Moffatt told the paper. “It was brown and about 4 inches high. It looked like an Easter egg, but it was a hand grenade — I was shocked. The boy who was standing on it thought it was a rock.”

After the bomb squad was informed of the explosive, they were able to disable the grenade before anyone at the event was hurt. Talk about one sick bunny.
