Fried Egg

'Mommy,
if you break that egg,
will a chick come out?'

No dear.
There's no chicken inside.

'Then why do
they always show that
on National Geographic?'

Because, dear,
those are special eggs.

'Am I a special egg,
Mommy?
And what's a special egg?'

It's an egg
that was treated well
when it was young.
You are my very special egg.

'How do you know
that there is no chick inside,
really?'

They know because
they have machines to check.

'What if the machine
is wrong and a chick
is boiled to death?'

If a chick comes out,
I'll turn of the stove
and you can keep it.

'I don't want to eat
breakfast anymore.
And you don't eat it either!
Bye, Mommy!'

Bye dear. Drink some milk first.
