When you’re preparing food for someone’s first birthday party and tearing your hair out over how everything might fit in the fridge for the four hours previous to the party, a great way to make some extra room is to grab the carton of eggs.
The just-bought-yesterday-only-missing-two-thank-goodness-I-already-made-the-birthday-cake carton of eggs. This is especially great for making room if you grab said carton of eggs by the not quite shut lid/latch and all 10 of the remaining eggs fly out onto the kitchen floor, each cracking as they touch down, into a big sticky raw egg mess.
Ta-da! Instant room now available in the fridge.

Hey now, that’s not a bad idea! Of course, I need eggs on my diet, so I might have to go hungry…

Oh man. That sucks. I tossed an egg like that once, but it landed on the inside of the open dishwasher door. Easy cleanup–how did yours go?
Happy Birthday Owen! How was the party?

I’m told that when I was young, I had a bad habit of grabbing eggs out of the fridge and cracking them on the kitchen floor. It still sounds like it’d be a load of fun.

That would have totally pissed me off! I’ve only dropped an egg once, in the grocery store, newly married and “teaching” my husband how to properly pick eggs… He now picks the eggs:)
