re: bad parent, is clodfobble? A: No. You are not! (lazy, perhaps. bad? no.)
(jesting about the laziness)
re: Your stolen childhood. I think you are still young enough (you're like 16, as I recall, so the statue of limitations is probably not up. You should sue your parents for damages and with the big reward money you can hire someone to write clues for you.
okay, jesting again.
Seriously though, some idears:
1. Where is your MIL? can you shanghai her into helping with the clues,etc. since she undoubtedly is a Shihan in this sort of thing.
2. Can you do a "lite" version in light of your impending move? Can the boxes be incorporated in the whole hunt?
3. Can you badger mr. Clodfobble into "cowboying up" with references to how your previous boyfriend lifted a volkswagen off a kitten with a broken elbow? Guys love it when their manliness is challenged.
4. Sorry, jesting up there.
5. What about putting mr. Shoulder guy in charge of writing the rhymes, the painkillers should make the creative process a breeze.
6. Fake violently throwing up and come out of the bathroom looking pretty messed up and while clutching your gut, start to speak then puff up your cheeks and run back in for another prolonged flushing, retching bout, come back out and say "As I was starting to say, I'll be happy to uuugggh, work on the uuuughgg egg hunt thing.. Ugghhh can you make me a cup of tea, I'll be right back." Rushg back into the bathroom and lie on the floor pressing your face against the cool tile floor, telling him you like it better down there and you'll be 'right as rain' in a few minutes.
7. Alternitivley, there is always telling the truth.
