Four (4) Dozens of Eggs

& she says when she was a kid

christmas & birthdays really weren’t a big deal

but she would still get upset when people would forget her birthday & try to pull that it counts for both nonsense.

for my mom’s birthday this year i bought her

four (4) boxes of dollar store fancy chocolates

wrapped in birthday paper instead of green & red

& i don’t know when i’ll give it to her

but delicate delights set in nice boxes

always seem to bring her joy.

my dad said he noticed that my minifridge had four (4) dozens of eggs.

& i said dad i told you not to snoop through my things he said it was only your fridge i’m just proud of you for eating eggs so much.

which i think is funny because every breakfast he ever served me was always scrambled eggs & i hated them so much that i never touched eggs.

so instead i have mastered soft boiled eggs upon cheap ramen

& sunny side up inside my own version of an egg mcmuffin as inspired by a close friend who died over (2) years ago.

i only enjoy scrambled eggs with sharp cheddar, butter, & pepper in the way that my best friend makes them.

funny how so many of my friends have relation to simply eating eggs.

because yes i hate scrambled but probably just the way that my dad makes them.

i think it’s funny that when my dad looks in my fridge the fist thing he notices

is eggs.
