I want some eggs, hashbrowns, and lots of tabasco sauce.  I want ice tea too.  I had a sandwich for lunch about 4 hours ago, and it had mass onions on it.  I can still taste onions in my mouth, and I brushed my teeth too!  I didn't eat much of anything for about 3 days, and now I'm making up for it.  Yesterday I baked and cooked, and cleaned, but I ( Read more... )

Not long ago, my mother asked me if I'd pick up some eggs for her at the store. I said sure. I assumed she was making something that required eggs, so I got them for her right away.

It turns out that I got the wrong eggs. I got jumbo eggs, as I always do, and she wanted the large eggs. Large eggs, to me, are pretty small. Six jumbo eggs with toast and orange juice make a nice breakfast. Six large eggs with toast and orange juice would send me back to the pantry, looking for something else.

So why did she want large eggs? Because they were on sale for twenty-six cents a dozen. At that price, you can eat quite a few, and even if they are as small as large eggs, they'll eventually fill you up.

She didn't tell me to get the large ones because she gave me credit for enough sense to check out the signs saying "SALE! LARGE EGGS! $.26 A DOZEN!" She should have known better.

Anyway, I went back to the store, got some large eggs for her, got some for myself, and figured everything was fine. But then my mother had to go out of town for a couple of weeks. Now I have three or four dozen large eggs, and a dozen jumbo eggs, and it's going to take me a week to eat all of them.

Unless, of course, you want to help? I'll trade you some of my eggs for some of your apples.
