Broken eggs are always funny

I went to Kidcity Children’s Museum with my wife and daughter this weekend. It’s a giant indoor play area for kids, with rooms designed around specific themes like a sailing ship, an undersea world, and a fishery (magnet fish running throughout the room on conveyor belts!).

One of the rooms is designed to look like a farm, and among the many activities in the room is one involving surprisingly life-like eggs.

As I watched my daughter play with them, I suddenly had an idea:

Return to Kidcity with half a dozen real eggs, add them to the pail of plastic eggs, and wait for the hilarity to ensue.

I thought this was a brilliant idea, but the friend who accompanied me (presumably my wife) did not, stating that only I would consider such a diabolical plan.

I disagreed on two points.

1. I still think the egg gag would be pretty amusing and relatively harmless.

2. I don’t think that I’m the only person who would consider such a gag. Check out what this man did to get a laugh in his neighborhood. Genius! Slightly twisted and potentially hazardous but clever as well.

Even if the police eventually made him remove it.
