Do you have a teenager who thinks it’s hilarious to throw eggs at houses and cars?

There are still spots on our house siding from some time ago. Washing wasn’t adequate. Another time the dried egg came off a little more easily from the fence but not so from the car. Now this is about the sixth time and my fingernails are worn down from scraping egg yolk off the garage doors.

Do kids do this so that they can drum up a job cleaning? If so, I might hire them just so they could see that it ain’t easy. However, they haven’t come around to ask.

I’m tired of it. Would you mind sneaking around a little to check on your kids?
