Which Came First?

Well the "egg" has been quite the topic at our house over the past week. Today we colored pictures of decorated Easter eggs to decorate our windows with, and dyed a dozen eggs. I wasn't so thrilled with the mess but their comments certainly kept me chuckling.

Here are some of the "egg" comments from my little Engineer and Comedian:

"Does the baby egg grow up to be a big egg?"

"I don't want to eat the egg but I want to keep it safe in my hands and watch it grow." (carrying around the yolk of a hard boiled egg)

"Look my egg has three eggs, a hard egg, a soft squishy egg, and a cute little baby yellow egg."

"If I put my egg in the blue (dye) will it grow up to be a blue mommy egg?

I think a trip to a farm needs to be in our near future....although I'm a little nervous, my 5 year old wouldn't eat the Thanksgiving turkey because it had bones and a body. Although he eats chicken just fine as long as it comes frozen and boneless. With Easter coming up I'd better not tell him that mutton is really lamb.

I've made arrangements with a friend who raises chickens and sells the eggs to bring the boys by to "help" one day while she is gathering eggs. I think it should be pretty funny to see what their reactions are.
