Funny story

Parker and I found a robin's egg in the grass the other morning before school. She insisted on taking it to share with her class. My grandma placed it in a butter container with tissues around it. She said that she carried it into school very gracefully.

So, the teacher told the kids they could look but not touch. One little boy who doesn't always listen to directions, picked up the egg and put it in his mouth and bit down. Egg yolk went all over his mouth and face. Of course, Parker started crying. She did bring home the shards of eggshell in the butter container.

I asked her if she was upset and she told me, "I thought it was going to hatch". I would've loved to be a fly on the wall that morning in her classroom.
