Eggs come from where?
I can always tell when people are way too disconnected from reality. Last week we had a couple of friends from the city over for dinner and I took them on a small tour of the property, including a trip through the chicken & duck yard. Here is the actual conversation:
Friend: What are all the chickens for? Do you eat them?
Me: No, we have them mostly for the eggs.
Friend: You get eggs from chickens?
Me: Uh, yeah… where did you think they came from?
Friend: I dunno, the store?
Upon departure, I gave him and his wife a dozen fresh eggs to take home even though I’m pretty sure he’s afraid to eat them. You know they do come from “real, live” chickens…
