Every so often, our family observes the illustrious
tradition of ‘Egg Drop Day’.
Today was that day.
Everyone was given their assignment – their job was to
design, create and build a construction that would protect their egg when it
was cruelly dropped off the tallest shed in the back yard.
The flurry of activity began – with cardboard, padding,
plastic bags and even an orange being used to build the egg’s protective casing
for it’s fall.
Eventually, the constructions were complete, and it was time

– some landed quite gently, but for others, a terrible ‘thud’ sounded as they
smashed into the ground.

Egg Drop Day was once again complete.
Linda.
