Synopsis:
Meet the good egg. He's a verrrrrry good egg indeed.
But trying to be so good is hard when everyone else is plain ol' rotten.
As the other eggs in the dozen behave badly, the good egg starts to crack from all the pressure of feeling like he has to be perfect.
So, he decides enough is enough! It's time for him to make a change
