So this morning as I was preparing to walk out the door my roommate had a concern which was bothering her. So she decided I would be the best one to ask to answer her concern. She started out by saying, "You know how people get baby chickens for Easter?" and I replied with a yes. Then she asked if our many dozens of eggs sitting in our fridge, would grow into chicks if we didn't eat them soon enough. I gave a little smile and told her that they would not hatch into chicks while sitting in our fridge. This really must have been hard to understand because then she started asking how people get baby chicks. I then had to explain how "my" eggs could hatch into chicks if we didn't take them out from under the hen and wash them, but the eggs from the store couldn't hatch because they were not fertilized. She then started asking me how the eggs become fertilized and I told her by the rooster. She then got the contemplating look on her face and I knew she was going to start asking more questions so I opt for the door. Hopefully she will be able to go one through the rest of her life without me answering those remaining questions.

Good thing she has a boot wearing roommate to calm her fears of a fridge full of chicks.
Don't worry, my husband asked me similar questions the other day. Does being WEP's daughter make us chicken professionals or what?
Tameka, you're so smart. Maybe your roommate shouldn't have skipped her middle school maturation program.
Aren't you glad you were raised on a farm and learned how things were in real life instead of reading it in a book. The greatest desire I had growing up was to 1 marry a really good women. 2 To have an occupation that I enjoyed doing. 3 to be able to spend alot of time with my kids in every day life.
Maybe you guys know , if you ask me a question you"ll get an answer
someone needs to blog
Rude... Your roomate sounds like the cutest/bestest/smartest girl alive!! :)
