As you might have already seen, Easter was a pretty big deal here, but for Dylan and me it passed without many of the traditions we are used to. Well, Beth had a remedy for that, her mother brought down some packets of egg dye, and about a week after Easter, with some of our neighbor children we dyed eggs! Beth has done this a few times in the years past with them, so they knew what was up. Like American children they tipped the cups of dye over, dyed their fingers many different colors, couldn't quite wait until the eggs were dry to put the stickers on, and incessantly checked on the eggs soaking in the dye to see if they were done yet. Unlike American children, they ate most of their eggs in about 30 minutes of finishing dyeing them, with remarks about how delicious eggs were. Let that be a lesson kids, eat your hard boiled eggs!
Here is me instructing a tutorial on how to get stripes.
The young students putting it into practice.
The egg I made, combining crayon, a brown egg, and purple dye.
Dylan, pretending the egg holder is his monocle.
And Ezra showing us his egg, which turned out to have Spider Man colored lines underneath the shell. Disclaimer, because he is an American kid, he refused to eat his egg.
