I noticed several posted on FB they were bringing me eggs as I became rather famous kidnapping eggs in school. I guess it was the 11th grade that our Family Ed teacher in teaching us the responsibility of raising babies gave use each an egg, we painted them up with faces, named them and she numbered and signed each one. We all had to carry them around for 5 days in lil strawberry crates. Each person had to be responsible for their baby/egg, if you dropped it, broke, cracked, etc., you would get a failing grade. You had to bring your egg to class each day for the teacher to inspect.

As a joke, I soon noticed people weren't paying attention to their babies, so my friend and I kidnapped several eggs, later sent ransom notes. Most the notes were silly, requiring the person to do something funny such as stand up in class at a certain time and cluck like a chicken or guys would have to wear a wig all day. If a person didn't do as instructed, we broke the egg in a box and left it on the teachers desk. It turned into great fun, but my we eventually got caught and suspended for 3 days.

That was the first and last time the teacher tried this project.

What was your nickname...Humpty Dumpty?
