The story of Jonathan Eggderp

S6: Design your own challenge: Look after an egg for five days.

This wasn’t my first time looking after an egg-child. I had done it once before in my old primary school when we were learning about looking after children, it was a challenge of who’s egg could stay alive the longest and it was random boy-girl pairings as the parents. Sadly my egg died when I was taking him to the mat and that was it.

This time I was especially determined to do it well without killing my egg-child. I named him John Eggderp or just Eggderp for short. I got the name from Homestuck, which is an online web comic and one of the character’s name is John Egbert and his nickname from one of his friends and all of the fans of the web comic is basically Eggderp.

It was a really fun challenge to do as Eggderp began progressively rebellious so I had to lock him in his room from time to time but other than certain days he was a good boy and did what he was told. He enjoyed coming to school and meeting his cousin Egg but still yearned for attention as he explored my desk area.

He slept in a small lunchbox tube that Catherine lent me for the task and he had some nice tissue bedsheets and a mattress in there. I treated Eggderp carefully because I didn’t want him to die the same way my other egg-son did by falling onto a hard linoleum floor. I had to clean up Junior’s guts…It was…so tragic and traumatising I think I’m going to cry. 

Moving on…Luckily Eggderp didn’t die until the challenge was over in the incident where he so devastatingly and…mysteriously died from accidentally flying into the ground three to ten times not that I would know.

They grow up so fast! And then get viciously murdered by some random person that is definitely not me. I swear on…uh…Don’t sue me.
