A figure artist I know once told me that when she needs to get back to learning the basics, she goes back to eggs, sketching them to learn anew form and shadow and shape. 'An egg a day.' I like that idea.

Writers may not be able to draw eggs, but we can write about them.

Egg # 28: Arguing Over Eggs

Two sisters are arguing over eggs. Write out the argument, incorporating these phrases into the dialogue:

- "You couldn't shine your shoes if you tried."
- "I gave those pennies back."
- "Shell. Not smell. Shell."
- "Oh, no. Don't bring up the fish again."
- "You knew it wasn't dead!"
- "Does it look yellow to you?"
