DRAGONS EGGS
Justin Other Smith

Now it’s a well known fact that one dragons egg will feed a multitude. Well, a small multitude anyway. Three or four kids and a small dog. Not a pure bred dog, mind you. Only mongrel dogs are strong enough to digest dragon eggs. Mongrel dogs and ten year old boys.
Ten year old girls, of course, are a different matter entirely. Not that they aren’t tough enough. I never ever would say something like that. It’s just that ten year old girls are simply something else altogether but that’s a story better told another day. Preferably another day well into the future.
Now there are several difficulties encountered when a band of ten year old boys and a small mongrel dog are set upon having dragon eggs for breakfast. Or even lunch.
The first difficulty, and I’m not going to lie to you about this, the first difficulty is obtaining a dragons egg. This can be a really hard task. That’s why it’s essential to have a small mongrel dog. Preferably one that’s on the scruffy side.
Small scruffy mongrel dogs are the best dragon hunting dogs in the whole world. And you have to go dragon hunting in the early, early morning. Before the dragon wakes up. Because when the dragon is awake, there is absolutely no way in the world that you’re going to get a chance to steal an egg. And rest assured, the only way you’re going to get a dragons egg is to steal one.

So the only way to steal a dragons egg is to sneak up on the dragon while it’s sleeping. And that means that you can ‘t let the small scruffy mongrel dog bark. Because the barking of small scruffy mongrel dogs absolutely infuriate dragons. And trust me on this, you don’t want to be around an infuriated dragon. Heckfire, Dragons aren’t that pleasant to be around even when they’re in a good mood.
Now, let’s assume that you’ve found a sleeping dragon and obeying that old adage of “let the sleeping dragon lie,” you muzzled the small scruffy mongrel dog and made away with the dragons egg.
The next difficulty you’re going to encounter is... how do you crack a dragons egg open. It ain’t no chicken eggshell. This is one tough baby. And speaking of tough babies, you better make sure that it’s a fresh egg because if you open it up and find a baby dragon inside, you’re really in trouble.
Because Baby Dragon is going to be scared. And when he’s scared, Baby Dragon is going to let out a shriek that will deafen most humans. Well, maybe not ten year old boys but most normal humans. And when Baby Dragon shrieks, Mama Dragon is going to wake up and that’s not going to be a pretty sight.

Anyway, let’s assume that you’ve managed to acquire a fresh dragon egg and you’re well away from Mama Dragon. How do you crack this really tough shell that’s as hard as any rock you’ve ever encountered?
You could smash it with a car but there aren’t many ten year old boys that can drive. Well, maybe they could drive but nobody in their right mind would ever let a ten year old boy drive their car. You could ask an older boy to smash it with a car. Most sixteen year old boys are dumb enough to do that. But you’d have the egg spread all over the street and that’s no good.
You could drop it from the top of a tall building but then the egg would spread all over the sidewalk and that’s no good either.
What you do is put the egg in a really large skillet and get really high in a big tree or on a rooftop or something and drop big rocks on it until it begins to crack. After that, it’s easy. You just hit it with baseball bats or big sticks until it opens up and the egg runs out.
Then you cook it over medium heat and salt and pepper to taste.
I like mine scrambled, with ketchup.
