Back in 1988

my sociology teacher gave each student an egg. The idea was that we were to care for the egg over a week, in order to simulate the idea of caring for a real infant.

I found my egg the other day.

He is 26 years old.

I suspect mine is the only one to survive this long.

I imagine after 26 years an infant stored in a box would smell pretty ripe. So how 'bout the egg?

Whatever was in there has solidified into something like a pebble. If you shake him gently, you can hear him rattle. No smell at all though - never was. He's a good egg.
