I don't know what y'all do with a basket full of boiled eggs, but around here we pock 'em! Pocking eggs was always a part of our Easter family get-togethers, but I'm realizing more and more how strange and unfamiliar many of our South Louisiana traditions are to outsiders, so I'll explain: (actually, the person who wrote this blog will explain!)
It works like this. You take your hard-boiled egg, and your opponent would take his. Both of you would hold them with the pointy end exposed, and the two of you would rap them together until the point of one or the other broke. The broken egg became the property of the person with the intact egg. This would go on until nobody had an uncracked egg.
Here are some pics of this strange but really fun tradition!

Explaining to Pawpaw how it's done.
I just liked Presley's expression in this one.
The victorious pock!
Grayson and mom ditched the pocking for a serious conversation.

What do you do with a bunch of cracked, hard-boiled eggs? You peel them, of course!
Eva is saying "get off me!" You can tell that she has older siblings...and a pesky Pawpaw!
Me and my mom
