Times are tough and eggs are expensive. On February 5th, in Antrim Township, Pennsylvania 100,000 eggs were stolen from the back of a trailer. This is a $40,000 felony, which is about the same as an armored car heist.
The bird flu is causing poultry farmers to slaughter millions of birds daily. With Easter approaching, it doesn't look like prices will be going down.
I am not a fan of eggs, and I really don't like hard boiled eggs. We colored eggs most years but didn't do many at a time due to them going to waste. We did have to have some to search for on Easter morning. It was a yearly tradition.
One year my friend Angela and I hid plastic eggs for our children. Most had candy, some were gags and we wrote "ha ha" in empty eggs, and we stuck coins and a dollar bill in some. It was just as fun for the kids, and more so if they found money.
Parents may have to think out of the box this year. We do not have to heist egg trucks.
