re: #167 Pigtown Water Dog

I show my students my grandmom’s wooden darning egg, and they laugh their heads off. Wait until there’s a run on wooden darning eggs…then we’re in really deep poo.

Thank you for mentioning the “darning egg” — I didn’t know the name for it. That’s what my Spanish grandmother used to mend socks.
Treasure that thing.
