The Contract

I have always believed my family to be strange, odd, and a little enthusiastic but today I have come to terms that my family my not be that unique in that sense or Grant's family is the same way.

I went over to Grant's house for dinner tonight and somehow managed to make it right when his youngest two sisters were talking about cracking eggs on each other's heads. The older of the two eventually exclaimed "I will give you $100 to crack three eggs on your head!" Soon she was talked down to two eggs on the foot. This is not the amusing part though. It was the writing of th contract.

The younger of the two wrote out a very detail, very long contract saying along the lines of 'two eggs on the foot, not the leg, knee, or any other HUMAN body part, had to be out of their dad's fridge, the eggs had to crack." It was 98% loophole free. Each girl was bringing in lawyers (aka Grant and their dad), the contract was signed and then had to be given to a mutual party. I learned more about law in contracts then I ever did in my Criminal Justice class (which we did study court). It was hysterical- the dramatic writing of a contract.

Well just to tell you how it ended- the only loophole was that AN egg (not both) had to crack on her foot, both had to crack but not on her foot.... So you can imagine how that ended up. I am pretty sure they are setting up a full court system right now but I am not positive. It was great though to see them get so into it, totally made my day! Whenever my brother and I have a disagreement we never right up a contract, but that is an idea and I might have to try it sometime.
