Yes because....You know as it happens sometimes the poor Mrs. White Rabbit must cleaning, baking, cooking, growing up the bunnies she has had with the White Rabbit, sometimes enjoying her husband's friends, like that strange cat... Oh yes, she would dream something different. A different herself, where she is sometimes helped at home. An attentive Mr. White Rabbit, who can remembers special anniversaries being helpful at home, sometimes. Mrs. White Rabbit doesn't never smile and she is always angry with the world because she had decided while a young Miss Rabbit of giving up of all her passions and dreams for following her boy-rabbit-friend. Just later the reality has been a delusion to her and the most, her hard work not recognized! Another frustration. But we all know: house-rabbits work never recognized!

Lady Rabbit keeps a special diary where she writes everything. Who knows that the White Rabbit soon or late, anxious as he is, will discover everything exclaiming: Bloody Carrot!...Can you imagine his reaction?
