On the last day of class, Neko’s school has a tradition—an egg drop. Students are challenged to create some sort of protection for a raw egg, which will then be dropped from the roof. The prize for a surviving egg is bragging rights.
The younger kids chose the more obvious solutions—bubble wrap and packing materials. The older kids? They get kudos for ingenuity. My favorite this year was an egg strapped to the seat of a folding lawn chair. Both the chair and the egg survived!
But, oh, did it rain. Buckets and buckets. (You can see the raindrops on the playground equipment.) It only stopped for the brief stretch they dropped eggs.
You will all be happy to hear Neko’s egg survived unscathed.
