My girls lay on average an egg a day. That means I get six chicken and three duck eggs a day. Well I'm not going to eat that many so I give them to friends, the local fire department, the girls at the animal shelter, neighbors so they wont complain about the quacking etc...Normally I collect eggs and set them on the counter for a few days and then clean them up and put them in cartons and fill up my fridge. Chicken eggs are usually pretty clean but duck eggs, well ducks are messy girls. Couple of days ago I saw an egg early in the morning by the pool. Later that day I collected and grabbed the large duck egg but they had slopped it around in the mud so when I took it in I figured, ill just trash that, its been in soupy mud all day. Got side tracked and just had it in the pile. Tonight my daughter and I are putting up eggs and I told her...oh this one I'm throwing out. It actually looked dark and yucky so I figured it had rotted. It was even sloshy sounding. Gross. She begs me to let her crack it. I said...eww...really? inside the house? She asked to do it outside and in my moment of bad deduction I thought, well over the sink at least we can wash that down. We had a rotten black stinky egg before and after rinsed away it was pretty much done. Shes nine and really gets a kick out of cracking open eggs, so what the heck. I'm placing stuff in the garbage and I see out of the corner of my eye her at the sink ready to crack that egg and I start heading over figuring, like a train wreck, I want to see what the inside of this hot mess looks like...she strikes the sink and "BAM" its like a gun shot went off and yellow creamy egg is all over the place! She turns around and her entire face is covered in this creamy thick yellowy mess and its in her hair, her eyes, her mouth, and she is in shock! I'm in shock! And the smell....its not like rotten egg at all...its exactly the smell of dog anal glands....like very full ripe dog anal glands. Ive caught the overspray to the face...thank God I was wearing glasses!...and its in my face and hair and arms....but my daughter is just covered in this disgusting mess. I wipe her eyes and take her to the tub and set her in and shes sobbing and put her to work rinsing and scrubbing, and go back to that foul fowl mess in the kitchen. Cats are all missing, hiding from the obvious fallout....Dogs are sniffing the air....I'm about to barf....and the clean up begins.....Now my biggest fear is am I sending one of these trick exploding eggs out to the fire department? Will they forever have me on the "do not respond" list if I accidently send them one of these full of surprises eggs???
