Today was a rare day that I was actually able to accomplish a lot of what I set out to do. Dylan - my energetic little man that he is, actually let me sit down and work for about 4 hours straight without too many interruptions. This was wonderful! So, I decided to take a little extra time to make egg burritos for lunch today. As I was cracking the eggs into the bowl, Dylan looked at me and said, "You know mommy, those aren't really chicken eggs." To this I smiled and then replied, "oh no? What do you think they are Dylan?" "They are human eggs mommy, see the middle is yellow. There isn't a cute little chick in there, so they have to be human eggs." I immediately started giggling. So I asked him what he would do if they were really chicken eggs, and he told me that he wouldn't eat them if they were chicken eggs, because baby chicks are too cute and cannot be eaten!
It is so funny and touching to hear what children are really thinking about everyday things that we take for granted.
