This is Mk’s Prototype for her egg drop contest on Friday:
If it passes the “proof of concept” stage, she’s going to cover it in cardboard and tissue paper to look like a chicken.
Stage one test was to drop it from the roof.
She didn’t mean to drop it into the gravel window well.
But it survived.
So did I:
For stage two, I threw it as high as I could.
The results were not eggsactly great.
We’ll be back. The next step is to reinforce the sides with cardboard, maybe fill it with straw, and possibly add a parachute. She has also mentioned buying a helicopter and attaching it.
Where’d you get that hat? You are turning into your grandfather.
Ha! I’ve had that hat since Earlham College. For added coolness, I’ve got my press card for when I worked at the Eastern Sierra News Service tucked into the ribbon.
“For added coolness…”
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Your *daughter* on the other hand: “…has also mentioned buying a helicopter”.
Now, *that’s* added coolness. :-)
