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.

They call it:

(Escape . . . eggscape . . . you get it.)

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.

Shel will have to come find us!

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.
