Happy 4th of July

As Curtis and I sat on the back porch of his home in Mineola, enjoying a glass of tea and a snack, I noticed an egg sitting on the table.

Me:  What's the deal with that egg?

Curtis:  Well it's gone bad. 

Me: So what are you doing with it?

Curtis:  I had two, but I threw one at the cat. 

Me: I'm pretty sure that's animal cruelty. 

Curtis:  Good God, Lesley!  I didn't try to hit her.  I just like messin with her. 

Me:  So it's only bad if you hit her?

Curtis:  Leave my cat alone. 

Me:  What about that egg?

Curtis:  Leave my egg along too. Ill give it to the opossum if it makes you feel better. 

Me:  Thanks Dad.
