"Honey, get the Windex and call the law. It's those dadgummed teens again!"
That’s a Decatur homeowner speaking. Or, at least it could be soon, now that egg-throwing season is upon us.
Yeah, egg-throwing season. Get scared.
The city police got the first calls Tuesday night and caught a couple sets of kids lobbing them at cars. The cops turned to the Nextdoor social networking app.
“Dear Parents & Teen/Tween Caregivers,” the post said. “Please stress to your teens that eggs cause damage to vehicle paint and not every vehicle owner views this activity as a harmless prank and may seek to prosecute offenders and recover the cost of damages.”
Then what, pray tell, are the teens and tweens going to do with all their ammo?
Decorate the eggs “with a Halloween twist, respecting the egg as an artistic canvas much like Easter and giving us the key ingredient for some delicious egg salad.”
Artistic and delicious.
Plus, that would cut down on “egg waste,” the cops said.
Parents were asked to closely monitor their egg supply as the season takes hold.
Dire as it might seem, the police seem hopeful Decatur can pull through.
“We are all in this together!” the post said.
