Raw Colored Eggs!

When I was about five we used to go to my cousin's house for Easter. My mother and two aunts each would bring two or three cartons of colored eggs to have a huge egg hunt for my cousins and I. My aunts yard was very large, and it was just perfect for us.

I remember getting upset because after our egg hunt each year the adults would take a bunch of our eggs back to make potato salad and deviled eggs. I really hated having them taken away after I just worked so hard to find them!

One year I got even with those egg taking adults! I didn't do it on purpose though... My mother and I were decorating eggs for our big anual hunt. She would ask me to get this or that for her as we worked together. At one point she asked me to get the cartons of eggs out of the fridge, and I did. There were four cartons in the fridge....three were boiled and one was raw. Being five I'm pretty sure that I just grabbed three of them as quickly as I could because I wanted to get to the fun egg dye'n! We decorated the eggs and stored them for the big hunt.

The next day we headed to my aunt's house for our family party and egg hunt. The Easter Bunny (AKA the moms) quickly hid the eggs, and my cousins and I were let loose. After snatching eggs up as quickly as we could the dreaded time of the day finally came around...the adult egg snatch back. My mom and aunts went to each of us and picked through our baskets. I always used to try to talk my mother into only taking the ugly ones, but I think that she was picking through for the ones that had made it through the egg hunt without cracks. The adults took our eggs into the house, and that's when the fun began. They started making their anual potato salad and deviled eggs but were met with a gross surprise when they started cracking them opened.

RAW!

After all of the "Icckks!" and "Owwws" stopped they then figured out which sister had braught the carton of raw eggs and went on to figure out that I had handed the raw eggs to my mother to color! Being a five year old I thought, "That's what you get for taking eggs away from little kids! Mwwaahaha!"
