The Three Little Eggs

When I go to the outdoor fruit and vegetable market, I always benefit by taking a kid with me. Vendors are typically kinder to me, and the kids get all sorts of free samples. Most recently I took Annie with me. At the fresh egg stand, the vendor asked Annie if she liked eggs. When Annie said yes, he gave her a free egg. In fact, he was feeling very generous and he gave her a total of 3 raw eggs. ..just for being cute and speaking his language.

It is typical for the egg vendor to give 1 egg to each child, and my kids usually carry a raw egg through the market. About half the time the eggs make it home whole.

On this particular day, Annie was very careful with her 3 raw eggs. She cradled them and loved them all the way home. When we got home, the first thing she did was get a Sharpie and label the eggs. Midget Moe, Tiny Tim, and Bouncy Bob now reside in our refridgerator. How can I possibly crack one now that they have names? It would be inhumane. I just know if they accidently got scrambled Annie would notice and never eat eggs again.
