Silly Putty vs Real Egg

Pepe loved raw eggs. He didn't get too many of them, so when he got one it was a real treat. He would take the egg to the wall and gently tap it until a small crack would appear. He would put his fingernails into the crack and seperate the shell enough to start sucking the egg white out. Then came the true treat - the yolk! The whole time he was eating the egg he was making the cutest little chirping noise.
Dennis wondered what Pepe would do with the silly putty egg. It was made of bright blue and red plastic. We all (Dennis, my mom and myself) stood and watched when Dennis gave Pepe the fake egg.
Pepe didn't know it was fake, so he went to the wall and tried to open it. He tapped, tapped the egg but it didn't crack. He hit the egg against the wall a little harder. No crack. He tried for several minutes to crack open this egg. Finally he backed up a couple of feet and threw the silly putty egg with all his might against the wall. It broke open. Pepe ran to it and licked the insides to get his precious egg. He wasn't chirping.
We were all giggling, but Dennis felt so bad about fooling Pepe that he gave him a real egg. Pepe backed up and threw that real egg with all his might against the wall.
Egg yolk ran down the wall! Pepe ran to the wall and licked as fast as he could to get the yummy stuff.
We were howling with laughter. Until my mom informed Dennis he had a mess to clean up.
