Have you knocked your eggs?

As usual, this morning will see many broken eggs...

Never heard of it before.

Me either, but I should have know it was something only a crazy Cajun would think of, lol.
No offense intended Jolly, I love Cajuns!
The reason I was laughing about the title was I imagined how that would sound in Spanish.

Here's what interesting...I have a friend in Chicago of strong Lithuanian descent (his father fought for the Wehrmacht, because Stalin hanged his grandfather), whose father came to Illinois after WW2. His father brought the tradition of knocking eggs back from the old country.

My friend and his family gather together to knock eggs every Easter. Although I admit they do a lot nicer job decorating than we do.

So see...Us folks down here aren't the only crazy people!😄😄

I haven’t seen anyone pacquing (French word for Easter) eggs since I was a puppy.

No, but I had them knocked for me a couple of times in my spotted youth ......Joe
