Not in Kansas

Saw something kind of funny the other day... I was walking through the park on the way to the bus station, which I do everyday after work, and I heard some shouting. There was a line of about 15-20 boys facing another line of boys -- they looked about middle school age. Anyway, the one line was throwing eggs at the other line! They had whole cartons of them available, and they were just whizzing them in there. The boys just stood there, dodging as they could, but their uniforms were covered with egg splatters. Surrounding girls were laughing at them, and some older women were shaking their heads at the waste. I've seen them throwing flour at each other, but never eggs before.

Why? It's graduation time. We just finished the (extremely boring) ceremony at my school. Lunch is provided at least!

  1. Ah the graduation ritual. Flour and eggs. I was told the flour symbolized purity because it is white. The eggs are just there to make the flour stick and mess you up more. :)

  2. Just add a bit of sugar, shortening, and yeast, and you could bake them into their own crepe/pita wraps at the end.
