Every morning my obnoxious alarm goes off. Blinded by daylight, I slap it a couple of times and stumble to the kitchen. I stand in front of the open refrigerator door, drink milk straight from the carton, and grab a hard boiled egg.
I love cold hard boiled eggs so I make them on Sunday afternoon and put them in a container ready for the week. It adds to my mindless routine. I love mindless in the morning.
But one day it was different. Saturday morning, my siblings decided to get together. Early. Really early. They know I don’t do early, especially not on Saturday. Early Saturday in Deidra time means I’ll be 2 hours late. Whatever time you set.
To help me with this, they decided to meet at my house and for my convenience, they let themselves in. They’re really thoughtful that way.
An issue arose during the early morning gathering which has forced me to issue the following warning.
To the person who replaced my boiled egg with a frozen egg,
I’m narrowing the suspect pool. The noose is tightening. Feel my breath on the back of your neck as I close in. In the words of the immortal wicked witch of Oz.
“I will get you and your little dog too.”
Ah, anything you do to him (or her) is well deserved.

Good timing. I also have a hard-boiled egg each morning because I have very limited time before I have to leave for work. For whatever reason, hubby decided the fridge just wasn’t cold enough so he adjusted the dial. And you guessed it – all the hard-boiled eggs became frozen hard-boiled eggs. Not a good start to a work morning.

You feel me then. I thought the hard boiled egg was my idea, guess not.

Zap. Next time block the entrance and hide the eggs (just in case). I feel for you. Awful when your schedule is disrupted especially on the weekend.
I do the egg boiling every week as well for an easy breakfast too. Touch my eggs and you have some ‘splaining to do. 😦

I attribute it to the mob mentality. Too many siblings in one place.

If we cannot trust our siblings, who CAN we trust? Sigh.

I’m the same way. I don’t take kindly to being up early and having someone screw with my routine. It always means revenge later.

There’s always the slim chance it was a rogue chicken scientist experimenting with cryogenics? No? Well, if it does turn out to be a sibling, remember the old saying: “An egg for an egg, a toast-soldier for a toast-soldier…”

Soooo…I just love this. The post was witty and relatable and absurd. I also like all the responses…. the absurdity you touched on is relatable, My favorite part is about the daily routine, and coping with the mind numbingness of having to get up early to an alarm every day. Humanness exemplified through hard boiled eggs.
