I'm not really sure if I should refridgerate the thing (will it go bad?). It's hard boiled and I don't want the other people in my house thinking it's something from Easter and eating it. I made a container with cotton in it so the thing doesn't break, if it does I'll have to write a 3 page paper..

anyone else have to do this in HS?

Throw it away. When you need to bring it back to class, hard-boil another egg and claim it's the same one.

it's a parenting exercise, if you break it, you have to write a paper on child abuse. And as for making a new one, I can't because they died it pink and wrote my name on it (hence the leftover easter fears of it being eaten). Also, I only need it for health class, I can leave it in my locker if I want to when I'm not in that class

What rock have you been under?

I've heard of it, but it's still stupid. So you get some dumb girl who takes care of the egg and suddenly thinks she can "have me a baby".

uh.. probably not, I don't regard the stupid egg as a baby and even if it doesn't break, I don't think I'm ready to be a mother, I just know I won't have to write a report and will get 100 on the project!

Go get yourself a cheap tupperware clone & a roll of bubblewrap.

Bubblewrap the sh!t out of the egg, seal it in the tupperware.

Toss it in your backpack & forget about it.

It's not nice to call your grandma a rock. ;)


I agree with Skoorb, comparing carrying around an egg to parenting is really stupid.

There's a lot more I could say but in the context of this thread I think I'll pass.

I honestly can't believe schools still do this stupid "exercise". Trust me, carrying an egg around has exactly zero bearing on carrying an actual kid around.

I'd love to force them to take care of my nephew on one of his bad days, no more effective birth control needed.

Maybe the OP could post his cell # and I'll call him every time I'm changing/feeding/bathing/etc my daughter. :p

Yovon, at least the egg won't keep you awake at night with incessant wailing. :p I've never had to change an egg's diaper either...or take one out of the car seat..bathe it...or feed an egg....hmmm well you get the point it's not really very much real world experience. :D

IIRC, they used bags of flour when I was a kid. At least they're about the right size and weight.

Of course, they don't puke on you in Blockbuster yesterday while you were trying to pick out a couple movies for the evening. :p

I'm not saying that that's not the point, what I'm saying is that to ME this project doesn't mean anything really. I don't think that because I can take care of an egg that I'm capable of taking care of a child:p

edit: that's not to say that this isn't a stupid exercise, because I completely agree. I was just asking who else had to do this and what they did to keep it from breaking. Thanks for the replies people:)

Get a hard container...and do what Viper said. Wrap the thing in a bunch of bubble wrap..Making sure that the egg cant come out of the center, and put it into a hard container in your bag. If you break the egg that way, you deserve to write a paper.

encase the egg inside a block of epoxy resin. You'll need to run over it with a truck to break it.
