What season is this?

When you see all the cars of your sons friends driving erratically through your neighborhood, and then you call your son's phone at 10:30 on a school night and all you hear is "GET DOWN, GET DOWN!!" and the line goes dead. Should you panic? Should you call the police?
We have all heard of the four seasons. But if you are from Grantsville, or have been here long you surely know of our 5th season.... Yep that would be eggin' season!
I remember 20 years ago thinking how clever our boy's were when they left the eggs out in the sun for days so they would be rotten and stinky! But I think even that was trumped this year by the ingenious idea (Don't worry Linc I won't rat you out!) to paint the eggs black, so you can't see them coming in the dark!

Dev: "Mom I need you to get me some eggs, lots of eggs like 5 doz."
Mom: "Really? Why do you need that many eggs?"
Dev: "Protein mom! Coach says we need LOT'S of protein!

hmmm.... Dev did you know you can't absorb protein through osmosis, when being hit by a egg? Just sayin'..... ;)

I've never been a big supporter of "eggin'" just because I grew up in the freaking HOT ZONE for egging...but I even must admit that black eggs is revolutionary. Good thinking guys :)!
