Foolish Frugality

Hi, Cocoa here. I know this is telling on my mom, but I just can't resist. She had a cracked egg that she was too frugal to throw away, so she planned to cook it for me yesterday. Well, she put it in the still warm frying pan after fixing her own breakfast, and I was so excited! But then she went into the office and sat at the computer ("Just for a minute, she said.") Of course she forgot all about the egg cooking on low for me. When she suddenly remembered and rushed into the kitchen, she found the egg VERY well done. It doesn't look too bad in the picture, but looks are deceiving.  The egg is petrified!  Guilt made her quickly cook another for me, so I really did not lose out. Thanks, Mom.   She is making a journal page with it amid lots of laughter.  She has even saved the egg. Humans are really strange.
