"Mummy, the eggs are Cheeping!!!!"

The other day i was boiling eggs for the kids lunches when Hannah excitedly calls me over to the simmering pot exclaiming "mummy the eggs are cheeping!" She was totally convinced there were baby chicks inside the eggs and was already devising a plan for keeping and hatching them. I spent the next 10 minutes or so explaining to her that there were no chicks and the eggs were still okay to eat! By the time the eggs were done all the kids had had their turn at listening to the eggs chirp. Trust me, THEY WERE CHIRPING!!!! It nearly put me off eggs completely! Kids can be so funny!
