Baby Chick

This morning as Beebs was eating her boiled egg, minus the yolk of course, she asked me the sweetest question. 

"Mommy, is the yolk where the baby chick was?"

 
"Yes, it is Beebs," only half paying attention...until she asked...

"Well, how do they get the egg back in the shell after the baby chick comes out?"

I couldn't bear and wouldn't dare to tell her that she was eating the baby chick.  It would freak her out for life and she would never eat eggs again, which is the only thing she knows how to cook and someday she's going to have to take care of me!
