When is a Weapon not a Weapon?

Q: If you saw a kid hanging around with an egg (not boiled) - would you be suspicious as to what they were up to?

Well, I was. On Friday night at the youth group Christmas Party a kid rocked up with an egg, and couldn't understand why we confiscated it. This kid and his mates were causing a bit of trouble, so we were hesitant to believe that his motives were pure. I will admit it was hard to keep a straight face when explaining that the egg was a "weapon" and hence we could not accept it being at youth group as the property had been egged on previous occasions (it's a Church hall).

What would you do in this situation? I bet you will never guess Ian's response...
