A third way of getting into your egg is to use a knife to tap a ring of broken shell around the top of the egg (as far down as you like), and then to insert your spoon and simply lift this 'lid' off the top of the egg (don't forget to eat the yummy white from inside this little dome of eggshell).
When I was a kid my parents told me that when I finish eating a boiled egg I should place the empty shell upside down in my eggcup and smash a hole in the bottom, because if I didn't, a witch would use the shell to go to sea (witches melt in water, remember?) and steal a sailor's soul. I'm in my mid 40's now and I still can't eat a boiled egg without doing this

My kids use to turn the eggs upside down after eating, and put them in front of their parents. Then they go "I don't want my egg. You want it?". Naturally, we have to fall for it every time, and get very "angry" when we discover that it's just an empty shell before us.

peel off both caps of end, put your mouth on one end of the shell and blow the whole thing off.
