I realized that the egg has got to be tired of all the ways it keeps getting humiliated. First of all, it is white which is the color of innocents. Then it is the pleasing oval shape without any sharp edges that would imply a certain attitude. During easter, families adorn them with pastel colored paint. They can be drained, which on most animals would be called "gutted." They can be boiled, poached, basted, over-easy, over-hard, scrambled, or sunny side up. Sunny side up? Are you kidding me? Another cutesy term in reference to the egg!? With all this decorating, cooking, and eating of an innocent product of nature, I imagine one of the eggs would have to crack. He would go over the edge and decide he'd had enough and was going to become the predator. The incredible inevitable egg!
