Katie came home today all excited to show me this cool trick she learned at school. Apparently, today, Wednesday, March 20, is the first day of Spring or otherwise called the Spring Equinox. It's hard for me to think of spring here since it is was only 14 degrees this morning.
Technically, the Spring Equinox is where the sun crosses directly over the Earth's equator during a moment known as the vernal equinox when both day and night are about equal. Because both day and night are equal, there is a theory that you should be able to balance a raw egg upright without it falling over. They tested this theory in school today and it worked.
As I mentioned, Katie wanted to demonstrate her new trick but she couldn't find any eggs in the refrigerator. She turned to me and asked me why we did not have any eggs in our house. My reply was, "Because you are allergic to them!" We both looked at each other and laughed. We did the next best thing and watched other demos on YouTube. Here's one we liked best Equinox egg balance.
Just as a side note, we usually do have a couple eggs in the house just in case we need one but we hardly ever use them. So if you do have eggs in the house, go ahead and try this cool trick! Just do it before midnight tonight!
