The Egg Wars: Aisle 4 Meltdown
In A Funny Thing Happened on My Way to the Supermarket, we follow our narrator into the deceptively chaotic battleground that is the local grocery store. What begins as a quick, focused errand—just eggs, that’s all—spirals into a full-blown existential shopping experience, complete with impulse buys, psychological warfare, and scented candles that promise peace but deliver panic.
In this perfectly paced comedic monologue, our heroine takes us through the mental fog of supermarket amnesia. You’ll laugh (and maybe cringe in recognition) as she recounts the moment she realized she had filled her basket with hummus and regret, but still no eggs. And just when she finally reaches her goal in the dairy aisle? A stealthy senior citizen swoops in to claim the last carton with the agility of a professional food thief.
What follows is not just a story about groceries, but a meditation on urban survival, the lies we tell ourselves about being “just here for one thing,” and the quiet despair of realizing you already had eggs in your fridge the whole time.
Told with razor-sharp humor and a deep understanding of the small humiliations that make city life what it is, this episode is a tribute to the absurdity of modern errands. It’s not about the eggs. It’s about who we become in pursuit of them.
