HOWDY.
I’m Shel. An egg. How’s it going?
It’s just me today. I’m on my own. The other eggs? Where are they? Good question.

The thing is . . . sometimes they leave the carton on weekends, before the customers arrive. They escape into the store.

Me? I’m not really in the mood to run around, if you want to know the truth. I’d rather just sit here. I don’t mind a little “me time.”
No reason to go frolic with everybody else. I prefer adventures of the imagination. It’s quite peaceful here, without all the other eggs.

Sure, there’s a part of me that wonders what they’re doing, right this very moment.
I have a few guesses.

He won’t know where we are!
I’m behind a tomato!

I’m next to the avocados!
I’m blending in with the potatoes! Ha ha ha!
What’s so funny about that? Being a potato is serious business.

Ahhhhhh. This is the life.
When you live in a carton with a lot of roommates, you never get much peace and quiet.
So I’m going to enjoy this while it lasts.
