Overheard

in my driveway:

"Last one in the house is a rotten egg!"

(I'm really amazed that it has taken 3 children--almost 8 years in for that third child--for someone to hook onto that whole "last one ____ is a rotten egg" thing. My other two kids were never into it at all. I think this is the first I've heard the phrase as a parent!)

Cue the disinterested teenager:

"I don't care."

And that was answered with:

"Last one in the house is a rotten egg!" (Clearly, there's an echo in here here here...)

And followed up with:

"I'm first in the house! I'm a regular egg!"
