Loofah
“Make sure you find them, still three missing.” Mom yells.
We leave watermelon seed spitters on the front porch to hunt for stray eggs. I sure don’t want to step on one barefoot next week.
“We’ll never find them.” I say.
“Sure we will. Hey check it out, a loofah.”
“In Grandma’s rock garden? Nah.”
“Betcha.”
“It looks like a beehive.”
He bends down, wiggles it. That’s when I run. The egg hits me in the middle of my back. I turn slowly and pull the last two from my pockets. He runs screaming.
“Find them?” Mom yells.
Oh yeah.
I don’t think Mom’s going to be pleased! I can hear the kids going at it like this.

Hahahaha … she is smarter than he is! Nice one, Pam. 🙂
Kids hey? Nice take on the prompt.
Brilliantly told, loved it!
Messy fun.
You should deal with big kids. The guys at the volunteer firehouse love to play tricks and pranks on each other. Supposedly no one gets hurt…
Nice take. Cheers.
Great writing Pam. Just to let you know it’s Maddie’s Birthday today.
Egg fight? Gross! Mom’s gonna be pissed!
Hmmm, how long have the eggs been missing? Not too long I hope. Eggs left sitting in the sun for a few days….peeuw!!
That’s kids for you!
Interesting take on the prompt, well done

She has the drop on him with two eggs to his one!
Mine was about children too! Your title is way better.
