An Egg Drop

There is a certain novelty to a US education that I don't think we that grow up here appreciate. Blessing's 2nd grade egg drop contest was a big deal to here that seemed to amuse her to no end. Her design: She wanted lots of cotton. We wrapped the egg in cotton batting, put it in a small zip lock, wrapped the ziploc in more cotton and put it in a large zip loc and then wrapped it again and put the whole fluffy mass in a small cardboard box. The result: a mass of yellow yolk dyed cotton in the middle. However, she was still smiling at the end.
