"I hate eggs," Angelica sighed, absolutely grossed out by the fact that her mum was forcing her to make hard boiled eggs with her brother for Easter. And it didn't help either that Zac had just dropped a raw one onto her bare foot.
"Aghhhhhhhh!" Angelica felt like crying. She made a dash to go upstairs and take a nice, long bath but her mother stopped her. "No way am I letting you go all the way up my clean stairs with raw egg on your foot," she stated reasonably.
"So what am I supposed to do, let it dry?" Angelica snapped back, feeling naseous. She had a horrible churning feeling in the pit of her stomach for two whole days now. As an effort to be considerate, she hitched her foot up to the sink and began to wash it angrily, wanting to vomit now more than ever.
"Eeeeew," said six year old Zac, walking past Angelica.
"What?!" she said, turning her head to look at him.
"You sat in something," he said, loud enough for the neighbors to hear, "...something red."
Angelica took her foot out of the sink as fast as she could, turning around to look at her mum with a horrified expression in her eyes. She looked down at the back of her brand new white pants and really hoped that she was imagining things. "Oh, no..."
"Oh, honey!" her mum exclaimed giddily, "You're becoming a woman!"
Oh, Merlin.
