Some people use words to solve disputes, and others use eggs. Depending on where you grew up, you might have been an egg-thrower yourself around Halloween time for "mischief night," or you just had an affinity for vandalism and egged someone's house as retaliation, like the kids in this Reddit story. When these kids saw the neighbor's car parked in the way of their play area, they hatched a plan (egg pun intended) and declared an egg war lasting several days. Their wiffle ball games were clearly important to them.

In this story, the neighbor, a teacher, decides to beat the neighborhood kids at their own game, decorating their parents' windshields sunny side up style. You'd have to be pretty annoyed to spend your cash on some eggs, only to toss them on someone's car. After all, eggs are a hot commodity in today's economy. But that's exactly how this teacher fights back and teaches the kids a lesson.

    But, as the older kid (11m) grew, he became a real smartass. He and his friend would get pred when we parked in the small gravel lot by the house. We had

    So, a couple days in a row, I got tomatoed and egged and mud slung at my car. I finally had enough and bought a dozen eggs

    and left them in my trunk for a week or so. Got up in the middle of the night on one of those HOT summer nights and delivered a half dozen to the two neighbor's cars...the ones whose kids were doing the mess on my car.

    National Pension_110 Some times it takes some rotten eggs to root out the real rotten eggs.

    avid-learner-bot You gotta admire the tenacity (or dumb luck) of those kids, they kept coming back for more until their own cars became egg-splosions too!

  • Honestly, the teacher handled this with the humor and grace I aspire to have. The kids got a taste of their own medicine, and the neighbor got a laugh out of it. What's a little harmless fun? 

    That's all for now, yolks. Okay, I'll stop with the egg puns.
