The good ole egg dye tradition.
Every Easter that we are able to visit in Utah, we get to help dye eggs.
It is a dye-hard (tehehe) tradition in the Keyes house.
Every single time.
Danielle, Colette, Bridgette, Uncle Doug, Aunt Denise (back turned)
Bridgette's balancing act.
We didn't dye eggs at home in Texas. It just wasn't something we did.
My egg.
So I didn't know what those little tablets on the kitchen table were.
All I knew is that they looked just like candy.
Despite the fact that these "candies" were not mine, I ate them anyways.
Then I found out, they were not candies at all.
The boogers were egg dye tablets. Definitely not candy.
I was a freak show.
Complete with:
colored foaming at the mouth,
crying in confusion,
weird colors in my mouth,
laughter surrounding me.
My Texas egg!
Then finally, I was directed to spit it all out.
Every year.
Without fail.
"Hey remember when Savannah tried to eat the Easter egg dye?"
Hahahaha.
