Chapter 13: Easter Eggs...Everywhere

"Oh darn it..." Ma spoke as she looked inside one of the kitchen cabinets and pulled out an almost empty bottle of vinegar. "I bought all those eggs and forgot to buy the vinegar for the egg dye."

Sydney sat at the kitchen table, several cups laid out before her with a carton of hard-boiled eggs ready to be dyed. "Can you go to the store?" Sydney asked hopefully as Evelyn gave her a smile. She was happy at least one of her children didn't feel like they were too old to color eggs with her. Sydney had asked her brothers if they had wanted to help, but she only received snarky remarks such as, 'How old are you? Five?' Sydney didn't care. She had painted eggs every year since she had come to the Mercer family. The first year, Evelyn had to explain the whole tradition to a young, skeptical Sydney. The egg dying, egg hiding, and then egg finding traditions of Easter seemed very strange to her, but after the first year of actually participating in the activities, she was hooked.

"You can use the rest of this bottle and start with a couple of colors, and I'll go to the store for some more." Ma said as she placed what was left of the bottle of vinegar on the table as Sydney grinned, "Thanks!"

As Evelyn left, Sydney found that there was enough vinegar for three colors, so she mixed the dye and stuck an egg in each color. "Are you seriously doing that?" Bobby asked as he walked into the kitchen and eyed the eggs and dye on the table. "Yeah, so shove it." Sydney replied as she looked at the eggs inside the cups, already knowing she was probably going to get shit for coloring eggs.

"Ok fine, Easter Scrooge." Bobby replied as Sydney gave him a strange look. "You're being bitchy." Bobby shrugged at his explanation as he grabbed an egg from the carton.

"You can't eat them yet! It's not even dyed!" She protested, already knowing Bobby couldn't help himself when there was food on the table…none of her brothers could. "Calm down…it's just one. There's still going to be enough eggs so little Syd can go have an Easter Egg Hunt…" He cooed mockingly as he ruffled her hair.

"Shut up." She mumbled as she swatted his hands away and fixed her hair, trying to ignore him as she took one of the eggs out of the blue-dye and placed it back in the carton, it had turned a pretty sapphire color.

"Whatever. I'm still eating it." He muttered before Sydney felt something smack on top of her head. "Ow! What the hell is wrong with you?" She asked as she rubbed her head, looking over to find that Bobby had cracked his hard-boiled egg on top of her head.

"Had to crack open my egg. Thanks." Bobby shrugged as if it was nothing before heading out of the kitchen. "You're going to give me brain damage!" She shouted back at him only to get the reply, "You've already got brain damage!"

Rubbing her head for a second longer, Sydney checked the eggs being dyed before getting up and opening the refrigerator. Inside were two more cartons of eggs. She opened one up, remembering that Ma had said that one carton had more hard-boiled eggs to dye, and the other was uncooked eggs that she was going to use for baking. Sydney grabbed an egg from the hard-boiled carton before sneaking into the living room. Bobby was sitting in the recliner, watching TV as Sydney slipped beside him and smacked the egg on top of Bobby's head. Instead of denting the egg, however, the entire thing broke…raw egg now dripped down Bobby's head.

"I thought it was cooked!" Sydney's explanation quickly leaving her mouth as she stared horrified at an equally horrified-looking Bobby as he wiped egg out of his face. He hadn't said a word yet…that wasn't a good sign. He slowly stood up as Sydney watched him, and despite the shock written on her face, she couldn't help but let out a little laugh. Bobby turned to look at her and the two stood there silent for a moment. A tumbleweed should have rolled by because it reminded Sydney of a stand-off you see in one of those old Western movies.

A few moments later, as Bobby's shock turned to anger, he yelled out, "You're dead!" And that was all it took for Sydney to turn around and start running as Bobby chased her into the kitchen. A hard-boiled egg hit her on her back before falling to the ground and cracking as Bobby went to grab another from the table to throw. "Hey, hey!" Sydney yelled, "You're breaking all my eggs!" She protested as she tried to duck behind a chair as another egg was chucked at her.

"Yeah! And once I catch you, I'm gunna break the rest of them on your thick skull!" Bobby threatened as he made a move towards her just as she bolted from her spot and ran to the other side of the kitchen, dodging eggs that were thrown at her.

Fortunately, the heavens opened up and once again, Ma came to the rescue. She stepped in through the back down, stopping in her tracks as she took in the scene before her. There was only a few hard boiled eggs that scattered the floor and the little bit of raw egg from Bobby's head that dripped onto the floor, not leaving too much of a mess. Luckily, she had gotten home before they had started throwing the egg dye.

Bobby and Sydney stood there motionless, watching for their Ma's reaction. Setting the newly-bought vinegar on the table, Ma simply went to the fridge and pulled out the second carton of hard-boiled eggs. Clearly, she knew which carton was the raw and which was the cooked...unlike Sydney who had accidently grabbed from the raw carton and smashed the egg on Bobby's head...

"Why don't you go clean yourself up Bobby?" She said, no anger in her voice as she calmly picked up the few eggs that had been thrown on the ground. Bobby nodded before glaring over at Sydney, pointing threatening at her before leaving the kitchen.

Once he was out of the room, Sydney looked back over to Evelyn, about to explain that Bobby had started it, but stopped when Evelyn started laughing. Sydney watched her, taken aback as Evelyn went to sit down, wiping a tear from her eye as she continued to laugh. "He looked pretty funny with that egg all over his head." She laughed before giving a triumphant wink to Sydney.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

A little while later, all the eggs had been dyed and Sydney had told Ma that she would clean up the cups of dye since she and idiot Bobby had already made somewhat of a mess. Now standing at the kitchen sink, Sydney washed out the cups, watching as the water turned different colors before draining.

Through the running water, Sydney had thought she heard the faint sound of an egg cracking, but before she could turn around to investigate, Bobby had run up behind her, pulling back the waistband of her pants and dropping the egg-yolk and goo inside the back of her pants. "EWWW!" She shrieked, and Bobby pushed her backwards, making her fall on her ass and squish into the egg goo before laughing hysterically. "It's all squishy!" She whined, making Bobby laugh harder. She sat on the floor, a pathetic look on her face as she tried to take in the fact that there was raw egg in her pants. A moment later she tried to get up, not liking the feeling of egg-yolk in her pants.

"That's what you get ass-wipe!" Bobby managed to say through his laughter as Sydney's face had a mixture of scowl and disgust. "Now go wipe your ass!" He continued before pushing her back on the ground once more and laughing his way out of the kitchen.

Sydney grumbled as she picked herself back up from the floor and moving to the refrigerator, arming herself with two raw eggs before heading upstairs to change her clothes. The swishing of egg goo in her pants was less than pleasant….Of course Bobby laughed the whole time she walked up the stairs.

"You're walking funny..." Jack had pointed out as she made it upstairs and towards the bathroom. "Shut up." Sydney grumbled, just trying to make it to the bathroom without anyone getting in her way.

"Tell me that's not egg in your pants." He continued anyways, seeing the trail of goo she was leaving behind as she walked. "You're looking like a snail right now. You've got a trail behind you." Jack couldn't help but laugh as Sydney glared at him before slamming the bathroom door in his laughing face.

Sydney could hear Jack call down the steps, "Is Sydney laying eggs now?" He laughed and Bobby could be heard downstairs, joining in on the laughter as well.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

After cleaning herself up, Sydney moved back downstairs, the two raw eggs now hiding in her pockets. She was careful not to break them though…not wanting to repeat the feeling of egg in her pants.

Sydney quickly sneaked to the front door where several pairs of shoes had been thrown into a pile, each pair belonging to one of the kids, all too lazy to put them away. Sydney bent down, taking the two eggs out of her pocket and grabbing a pair of Bobby's shoes. She quickly cracked one of the eggs and dropped the goo into his shoe, swishing it towards the front of his shoe so he wouldn't notice it until he put his foot inside. She did the same to the second shoe before gathering up the shells and walking innocently back into the kitchen.

She hadn't quite finished washing out all the cups of dye since Bobby had interrupted her with egg-in-the-pants, so she decided to finish the cleaning. A shit-eating grin never left Sydney's face as she thought about what Bobby's reaction would be like after he discovered the eggs in his shoes.

It didn't take long before a loud, "What the hell!" was heard coming from the hallway. Sydney scrunched up her face in confusion, the voice hadn't belonged to Bobby...but instead...

"What the fuck is in my shoes?" Angel yelled enraged as Sydney let out a small snort of laughter from the kitchen. Ok, so maybe Bobby and Angel's shoes looked alike. It wasn't her fault that they couldn't buy a different style of shoe...Ooops.

Lol hope you liked it! Last night my uncle thought it would be funny to crack a hard-boiled egg on my head, so that's partly where I got the idea for this. What a jerk...Haha :P

Anyways, hope everyone has a great, fun-filled Easter! Is the Easter Bunny going to visit me with some reviews? I hope so... :D
