The Favor

I believe I mentioned to you earlier that hubby agreed to run out to the chicken coops and bring the eggs inside for me. I just noticed the basket of eggs he brought inside when I went to the kitchen to put up the leftovers from dinner. I had to giggle when I saw it. I picked the basket up and brought it to the den and asked, "Is this the eggs you brought in earlier?" He said, "Yes, why?" I told him that those are ceramic eggs and I had them out in the yard away from the coop for the rain to wash them off. I laughed so hard! I hope you got a laugh out of it too!

I can sympathise with your husband as I've been known to water artificial plants!

At least it was well taken care of when he gave it back.

@DaddyEvil Our neighbour gave it to Vince to hide until his wife's birthday. I didn't know it was artificial so tut-tutted about Vince not watering it and gave it a drink.

They look exactly like a chicken egg! He was just confused because the eggs were not by the doors where I leave them until the sun goes down.

Actually they weigh very close to the same so that did not clue him in at all.

They look the same when clean but these were very dirty and why I set them out for the rain to hit them during the storm.

@rebelann If you bang on something. They are not very heavy, made to simulate a real egg and used for broodies so they need to feel and look like real eggs.

Yes, they are used under broody hens or in my case I used them last year when the chickens were eating the eggs before I could get them.

My ex claimed he really did know how to do laundry. I believed him. What a mistake that was! The first month we were married, he washed a wool sweater in hot water and put it in the dryer--honestly, it would have fit a Barbie doll. He washed his red shorts with white towels and underwear, and we had a lot of pink clothes! He was then fired from laundry duty, I wouldn't let him near it. What a disaster. Too bad he didn't try to cook you some scrambled eggs! But this is hilarious!
