Mais je n’ai même pas acheté d’œufs!

Mais je n’ai même pas acheté d’œufs! // But I didn’t even buy any eggs!

Today’s prompt is “grocery”, épicerie.

The quote that served as an inspiration for the pic goes as follows:

Quand le fond d’un sac d’épicerie se fend, c’est toujours celui qui contient les oeufs.

When <the bottom of> a grocery bag splits, it’s always the one that has the eggs.

The statement is a very narrow example of Sod’s law, which is similar to Murphy’s law, except of course it was known long before Murphy was born. Strangely, Wikipedia doesn’t have a page on the Russian version of the same law — «закон подлости».

In quarantine news, yesterday Spanish kids were allowed to finally come out to walk in the street. The rules for these walks are supposedly simple and quite strict, and don’t allow for contact (and virus transfer) between kids from different families.

Well, guess what. It didn’t happen quite as planned. Of course entire families came out for walkies, and stayed out all day. Social networks exploded with photos and videos of people breaking the rules (also of course). I am happy to say that the most obnoxious examples were few, although they were propagated ad nauseam. Today, I expect a wave of memes based on the events of yesterday. Otherwise, no change, not for us at any rate. Still stuck at home.
