Dye Hard... boiled eggs

It is impossible to dye Easter eggs and only get color on just the egg. We can shoot a rocket to the moon, we can create a bomb that will wipe out a large city, and we can create a burrito that you can cook and eat in under two minutes (careful, it's hot!), but we cannot create an egg dying kit that will keep the dye off your fingers, out of your mouth, and confined to only the shell of an egg. And who thought up this tradition anyway? Was Jesus dying eggs at the last supper? What in the world does a bunny need with chicken eggs? Who in their right mind would hide a boiled egg. You better hope you find that thing, because it will stink like crazy a few weeks from now. Why does Virg get a chocolate bunny and Daddy doesn't? Do all of Virg's eggs have to look better then Daddies? Why did Virg get to dye more eggs them me?
This will be the coolest egg yet!
Don't worry Daddy, we'll say you made this one.

Ikea

First of all, don't even start with the whole "Oh why don't men ever read the directions?" Virg and Daddy don't need directions. A dresser is just a fancy box. We can put together a fancy box without some piece of paper telling us what to do! And second, Ikea directions don't even have words, so it's impossible to "read" them. It's just a bunch of pictures with arrows pointing from hex screw 'C' to board 'G'. And we don't need anyone telling us we can't use some extra glue and nails even though they are not pictured anywhere in the directions. It basically looks just like it did in the store... basically.

Daddy, I think this piece is on backwards, and upside down.
