So there you go. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, two 13yo boys lay an egg in front of you. And somehow I doubt that was the last egg that teacher was going to see today! 😂 #museums #museumed #teaching #whenyouworkatamuseum

2/3 They splutter and point. From the back, I hear the teacher… “Is that another egg?!”

ANOTHER?!

So the teacher starts wading through his class to get to me and the egg (which I can now see is boiled). All the while trying to figure out where it came from and whether there were any more. He confiscates the egg, while I try not to die laughing

Story time! Taught a Gr 7/8 class today. Doing my thing. Talking. Imparting wisdom. Cracking jokes. When the two boys sitting directly in front of me sproing apart like they had suddenly been yanked. I look down, and sitting between them?

An egg. 🥚

I look at both of them. I look at the egg. Both boys are trying to climb their neighbor in an effort to get away from this egg.

Says I: “Did one of you just lay an egg?!”
