Well...That Was Easy

This evening, over a plateful of hard-boiled eggs, Chris and Ellie had the following conversation:

Ellie: "How come there's no baby chicks inside the eggs when we buy them at the store?"

Chris: "Well, it's because the eggs aren't fertilized."

E: "So, that means there were no roosters around to fertilize the eggs in the chickens?"

C: "Um, yes, that's exactly what that means.  How did you know that?"

E: "Oh, I listened at the door when you and Mom were talking to sissies.  Because I wanted to learn stuff, too."

Guess that's one talk we won't have to have.

This girl cracks me up.
