Hard Boiled Chickens


A funny thing happened today. As I was getting ready for work I tried to consolidate a few things in the fridge by putting the 3 hard-boiled eggs in the carton with about 13 fresh eggs. You think you know where this story is going, but you actually don't. I was smarter than you think and I had decided to mark the boiled eggs so they could not be confused (even though we DO know the spinning egg determinant). When I got home for my lunch break I noticed Amy baking and saw that there were 2 egg shells in the sink.


I pried, " So...? did you notice anything special about the eggs?".

Amy: "Yah, you marked them"
Allen: "Yah, but did you see what they SAID?!"
Amy: "Yah, (we say 'yah' a lot) you marked them 'hard boiled' or something."


Allen: "NO...! silly! LOOK! it says....

(Now I distinctly point out each of the three eggs individually)

"I"....
"<3"....>"U"

"I" the capitol letter "I"
"love" represented by a heart
"U" representing "You"


Unfortunately she opened the carton sideways and read "HBC" which obviously stands for "Hard-Boiled Chickens".
My romantisism was lost.
Luckily she's more... appreciative of laughter than "mushy stuff"

Honey, thanks for trying to be romantic with me. Now as I look at the picture and you told me, I don't know how I could have mistaken I Heart U with Hard Boiled Chickens. Silly my.

The things I come up with when I'm tired.

Hard Boiled Chickens. :)
