Egg on your face: The #EggCrackChallenge and the problematic practice of pranking kids for views

You must have seen and laughed out loud at some version of the Egg Crack Challenge by now.

Parents, however, are going viral for participating in the social media trend that sees them seemingly about to bake up a storm in the kitchen with their kids, only to crack the egg on their little helpers' foreheads. 

It's all fun and games, sure, until the egg-citement turns into eggs-cruciating dread, lifelong distrust and emotional dysregulation.
