just leaned against the kitchen counter with a pocket full of eggs...

I am guessing that I break eggs in my pocket at least two times a year. I have an egg basket but if I happen to find an egg or two after after I have already gathered them for the day, I put them in my pocket. Problem is when I get sidetracked and start working in the barn. Leaning up against my tractor has gotten me more more times than I can count.

Years ago when I was in high school, (80s) I actually made it to school with a few left in my coat pocket. They didn't break but I was the butt of jokes for a month afterward.

Heehee...

I have loaded up my jacket pockets with eggs and leaned over to pet one of my girls. Crunch!

I was at the chiro the other day and we were talking as I was fumbling around for a pen. The receptionist was just saying how she wished she had fresh eggs when I found 4 in a section of my purse from that morning- I'd put them in there to prevent an eggs-ident when I found them in my pocket as I got in the car. Wish granted!! POOF!!

Last week I handed a bunch to the owner of the little liquor store near my house when hubby asked me to get him some beer on my way home...that guy loves these eggs!!!

I got my first pocket omelet! wow -

had an egg in my pocket and reached over for the dog... yepppers - it was a front pocket on my jeans so it didnt look pretty... my 4 year old laughed so hard ... especially since she has told me from day one NOT TO PUT THEM IN MY POCKET - cause Hannah Montana did that and made a mess.... ewwwwwwwwww

that kid still giggles if I act like I am going to put one in my pocket - she's too easy

Not in the pocket.....yet.

However, my DGD and chicken partner and I were out a few weeks ago watering and gathering eggs. I had been using a cottage cheese container to gather them in. She was holding the carton full of eggs and I asked her to grab the water hose that was stuck on a stob on the ground. She bent over holding the carton and all the eggs rolled out and broke. She looked up at me with tears already dripping.....and I said....prolly you don't want to bend over holding a container of eggs and just walked off laughing.

Then she put the carton down on the ground the other day and went to do something. Coming back the same way she rolled right over the carton of eggs.....

So, now I have an egg basket. Already had it.....put a t-towel in it and it is all puffed up. All eggs go in the basket so we won't have anymore eggsadents.

But I do have a habit of putting the eggs in my pocket when I find a stray or two.

Me and Dh have both experienced the eggs in the pocket! We have started taking an egg carton to the coops with us so we have less breakage!

The lovely hoodie I bought from Cheryl Cohen has the greatest front pocket EVER. Holds lots of eggs. You can bend over and not lose any.

One would think that one wouldn't forget one's tummy is up against quite a few eggs, right?

I must be extra forgetful. Haven't cracked any yet, but I have dashed into a small corner market (for smokes) with a suspicious bulge the clerk actually asked to see what I had in there. Luckily, that market doesn't sell ANY slightly dirty green eggs....

But I now avoid that gas station market unless I am ONLY buying gas, because I can pay at the pump!

Did that once, will probably do it again too. DUH!!
