The silver lining behind the black clouds and egg boo boo

So, there is always a silver lining behind the black cloud.
Now there is someone munching away happily on snow pea crips (man, are they delicious)...
And bouncing around with a !! Naruto !! Froggie !! Purse!!
And I am having fun popping toast (after being told that it does pop)
I feel like a kid because I cant decide where I want to place my Naruto stickers :)
Not sure if I can fit into the cow-hide, hmm... but sure looks mooey
A big big big big kiss for being the silver lining :)

So here is a story I should tell... it is never all dark clouds :)
....
Do you know how chickens mate? Anyway, was having eggs, and this friend went "oh! the potential chicken (meaning the yolk) is the best part". Me " No, the eggs are not fertilized!!". Friend "but you mentioned they were free range chicken eggs, then, they must be fertilized". Me "hmm, (eyes widened), NO, bu we can't eat fertlized eggs

(boo-boo number 1 ... always thought fertilized eggs were poisonous, or you see something like a feather when you cook the egg).

Friend "Of course you can, the free range chickens, the cock is flying around." Me "oh, but then, so many eggs, the cock couldnt have found all the eggs to fertlized". Friend goes "what do you mean by that" . Me go "well, hen lays eggs, cock has only a very short time between egg laid to egg comes out, to fertilize the eggs". Friend goes "huh? no, the cock doesnt fertlized the eggs when they are laid... the chickens are having a blast before the eggs are laid" ...

(boo boo number 2 : so all my life, I thought, for the eggs to be fertlized (think fish), the cock stands next to the hen, the hen lays the egg, the cock sprays some stuff over the eggs, and the egg hardens.).

(boo boo number 3, the eggs are soft when they are laid and harden in the air within minutes... though, i still think I am right. Cant imagine a hen running around with hard shelled eggs in her....)

friend : "look, it is not an easter egg hunt"
(which, then set me thinking... hmm, he is right, it is quite funny that the cock has to run around hunting for eggs to fertilize).
So apparently, chickens do mate (the cock yucks jumps on the hen and flaps around wildly for 10 secs).

So when I have kids, I think I prefer to tell them the egg-hunting rooster version :)... despite all the boo-boos ... and let them find out when they turn, gulp, 30?
