    Maybe Mom and Dad can get rid of Calvin because of Parental Abuse.

    **Good morning Marg! Good morning Fran and Kizzzy! Good Morning L’Wolf! Good Morning Grog!**

    Calvin will have to scramble for some excuse while mom is still shell shocked. This is not going over easy with someone as hard boiled as she is. His butt is going to be poached for this and no one is going to see the sunny side at all.

    You’d expect such ‘feats’ from an egg-straordinary boy like he is.

    Even after Calvin has had his way with the kitchen, I am willing to bet that the kitchen stays cleaner than some single guys’ kitchens I have seen ;).

    You’ve got to admire the spirit of challenge and discovery in the boy - only to see it evaporate when his Mom “discovers” his experiments!

    Mike Firesmith, …my sentiments eggsactly! Did it all come to you eggstemporaneously? ‘The chickens have come home to roost.’ Well, they say ‘imitation is the sincerest form of flattery’, although I know I’m not the original punster, only the most prolific perpetrator on this website. The first man was probably the original punster, but I’m not ‘adam’ant about it! I claim no credit for your cleverness, so you may totally eggsult in it. It should be eggshellarating! I’ll just butt out for now!

    Oh to read all the egg-cellent puns this morning makes going in to school and facing the freshmen all the more egg-citing! Thank you all for an egg-zillarating start! @Mike, I didn’t think anyone could do as well as Puddleglum2, although I think he egged it out with ‘eggstemporaneous”

    I think we all agree that Calvin’s turning out to be a bad egg - a real stinker.

    Still, that’s odd. His usual impulse is to make life easier for himself.

    Some day Calvin will learn that some challenges are not what they are cracked up to be. Even a crackling challenge can be a disaster. Eggcitement can lead to egg on the face very quickly.

    Time to crack some eggs.

    PS: Hard to crack Mike’s Eggcellent post! Kudos!

    The obvious answer, of course, is no. ;)

    Some of us, however, understand that brevity is the soul of wit. We have too many eggheads around here with cracked senses of humor, and after a while the running mess they create gets to be no yolk at all.

    pbbbbbbbt! :))

    See, the secret to having fun in life is to make little challenges for yourself. One of my daily addictions is to read C&H before opening my email, for fear of missing something. Every once in a while, my dedication to this ritual pays off, with life-telling gems like this. That’s why I tell my adult children I’m my own favorite form of entertainment!

    sandfan, “Eggscruciating” is great! If it weren’t for us irrepressible punsters, you wouldn’t have had eggcasion to use it. “Have you no shame” is often quoted as Welch’s outburst to Senator Joseph McCarthy, but it really was “Have you no sense of decency, sir?”

    Johanan Rakkav, P.S. Sometimes eggstenuating circumstances provoke more eggstensive punning. I’m sorry you are provoked, but please let there be no eggspectorating with your raspberry!

    Meanwhile, will mom have to clean up this mess today … or will this be yet another chore Calvin will gripe about having to do? After all, he/she who makes it should have to clean it up. It’s only fair!

    Linda Arney, “Up in the morning and off to school The teacher is teaching the Golden Rule” I’m glad we’ve made you eggstatic to go to school. Well, maybe that’s a slight eggsaggeration. The eggstent of the puns this morning has eggseeded some people’s eggspectations. A few others might want to shell us, or eggspunge us with some form of eggsecution. Enough is enough! Eggscessive, even! Eggsit stage right - Snagglepuss

    After all the eggasperating and eggecrable puns here, the yoke’s on you. (And the stove. And the floor.)

    They actually did an experiment (eggsperiment?) where the goal was to get a ball into a hat on the floor. No limit on where you could stand, or where your hand was when you released the ball. The score was based on how many of the series of balls went and stayed in.

    Girls tended to go up to the hat, and drop the ball in from a couple of inches away.

    Boys tended to stand at least ten feet away and see if they could toss the ball in.
