Oval vs. Round

At the end of June, Mama cooked this ostrich egg and served it at a dinner party!  It took 2 hours to boil! 

Mama told us the story of when she was in 2nd grade and she was used to demonstrate the difference between oval and round.  The teacher had everyone sit in a circle and said "Dee Dee and Natascha have oval shaped heads and the rest of us have nice round heads."  Mama says Emilie has a beautiful oval head and Celeste has a beautiful round head!  (We think this is a touchy subject for Mama!)

  1. where on earth did you get an ostrich egg?? was it tasty? did you have to use a hammer to crack it open? how did you serve it?

    and since when is an oval head a bad thing? i thought an oval shaped face was a mark of great beauty... i think maybe your 2d grade teacher had some significant pathology (that's nice dr. talk for "f***ing nuts").

  2. Oval vs round?? Of course! Some gets "0" and some gets "o". vive la difference! "Nice" round? Oval is nice too. Your teacher was most judgemental.
