The other day we were having pancakes and eggs for dinner (I didn't want to cook.) and Ryan started a conversation with Maddison about where the eggs came from. So here is how it went...
Ry: Maddison where do chickens come from?
Maddie: Eggs
Ry: Then you mean you are eating a chicken?
Maddie: No I'm not.
Ry: But you just said chickens come from eggs.
Maddie: Mom is that true?
Mom: Yes but we are eating the eggs that are just meant for eating.
Maddie: See Dad these aren't chicken eggs.
Ry: But how do you know these are the eating eggs and not the chicken eggs.
Maddie: Dad there are two kinds of eggs brown and white. The brown ones become chickens and the white ones are eating eggs.
Ry: But won't the chickens miss their eggs?
Maddie: No because they just have lots and lots of eggs. Just don't worry about it Dad. I know what I am talking about.
It was so funny to hear her rationalize this whole egg thing. This is a very brief overview of the actual conversation that went on for about 15 minutes. She just had a logical explaination for everything. I just thought it was funny that she even knew about the brown verses white eggs. I don't remember ever telling her there were brown and white eggs. Oh well I guess it all just comes from the mouths of babes.
