Rotten Eggs

I was just on the phone with Lance and he said that he hid an egg in the house for me to find on Easter. He just wanted to let me know so that I could look for it, since I obviously haven't stumbled upon it while cleaning up and such.

At first, I thought it was a sweet gesture. And then he told me that it was an egg he had taken out of the fridge and just hid somewhere. And that if I don't find it eventually, I will start smelling it.

Considering he's been gone for 2 weeks already, I'm sure I would be able to smell it by now.

I honestly don't know if he's pulling my leg or not. I told him that I didn't believe him, but he swears up and down that he actually did this. However, he did not seem upset that I accused him of playing a colossal trick on me...we were actually laughing as I accused him of falsehoods and he kept saying, "you'll know I'm telling the truth when you smell it."

I may just humor him and start looking for it. Where haven't I been in the past 2 weeks? Well, the guest room, for one thing. And I don't touch his desk or any of his stuff in our bedroom.

But seriously...who hides raw eggs? They're supposed to be hard boiled or have the yolks blown out. Or in this house, they're supposed to be chocolate. Whatever. He just said he didn't do it properly due to lack of time, but he was really busy right before he left. When would he have had any time to hide any kind of egg?

I still think it's a joke (after all, he's not here for April Fools Day either). But I suppose if the house starts smelling like rotten eggs, I'll really know for sure.

Eggs can last two weeks without stinking, easily, unless they're in an especially warm place. You won't smell it yet.

HAHAHAHA @ your icon.

These weren't the freshest eggs to begin with. And I know some people don't refrigerate them, but I am surprised they would last that long without refrigeration. But in light of our ant problems, it's better if he tells me where it is, if he actually did hide one and isn't saying it for the laugh of having me tear about the house looking for it.

Hiding raw eggs is a common thing in restaurant kitchen. on ur last day, u hide some around the kitchen and weeks later people start smelling them. I found one last week and it was in the drawer for at least 4 weeks. I was so bad...

So I guess my nose will lead me to it eventually...if there is one. Because I really don't know if he's being serious or if he's saying this deliberately to confuse me...he's such a prankster. ;)

This post made me laugh really hard. Who hides raw eggs?! That's awesome.

This is why I posted it. I figured it would be funny. It isn't to me, if he's absolutely serious about this. But no harm done, I guess. ;)

This is too cute! Have you found it yet?

Nope. Haven't gone out of my way to look for it. House is too cluttered and looking for it feels too much like work.
