Egg on your face? ...

... Or face on your egg?

I only have one child/adult child with me today and I’m pretty sure he didn’t draw this so I guess I must have egg on my face for not noticing this before now.

I had to ask google why we use that strange expression. And this is what I found ...

“ [To have egg on (one's) face "be made to look foolish" is first recorded 1964. ... The late John Ciardi suggested an origin in the lower-class and more rowdy kind of theatrical performance, in which an incompetent actor would have been pelted with eggs and forced off the stage.” [/i]
