Henry, looking at a little Farm Animal book that belongs to Grant: "Oh, there's a chicken on one page...and an egg on the other. The egg has a crack."
Me: "Yeah, why does that egg have a crack?"
Henry: "'Cause the chicken sat on it!!"
Me (laughing): "Well, they're pretty careful when they're sitting on the eggs. It looks like the baby chicky is trying to hatch."
Henry (a long story about chickens and eggs, and baking, and eating...here's a little of what I remember): "Yeah, the egg will crack and then the yolk will come out and then we'll eat the eggs and the chicken. And the chicken will eat the eggs, too."
I'd wager he's not the only one confused about which eggs are for eating and which are for sitting on. We'll work on that this spring, perhaps.
