dragon boat advice

at 11:52 this morning, rye's cell rings. it's kevlar, otherwise listed as 'for a good time call'...

K: hey, how's it goin?

R: ok. what's up?

K: did you know that today at noon an egg will stand on its end?

R: huh?

K: at noon. today. an egg will stand on its end but only at noon. because it's dragon boat day.

R: you're in miaoli aren't you?

K: yeah. the in-laws say the egg will stand on its own.

R: is that right? are you gonna try it?

K: yeah, maybe, i don't know.

R: well, let me know how it works out 'cause i'm outta eggs.

K: also, if you're gonna change the water in your water tank, you know the one on top of your house, you should do it before noon today and dig out of the ground, yourself, with chopsticks, and don't get your fingernails dirty, that way you'll get the freshest possible water.

R: you haven't spoken english in 4 days, have you?

K: well, kaia and i chat a lot.

R: yeah, and she's almost 2.

K: yeah, well, just thought i'd, you know, let you know about that stuff.

R: you should make your own version of mythbusters!

K: yesss!

R: i gotta go, i'm holding burl..

K: ok. talk to you later...

I forgot the best part of water tank washing. It has to be done by the oldest son. He had to climb in a large concrete tank. The water was really cold. Kid goes to Dong Hai and he believes the water is cold because it has been in this concrete tank for a year ??
